May 14, 2021
Some of the plot elements are a stretch at best, completely illogical at worst, but if you're willing to ignore the fact that Rachel doesn't stop anyone to call the police immediately after being rammed off the road by a very angry Russell Crowe, then perhaps you'll find a tight thriller, with some tense action with a dark underbelly.
Crowe is genuinely quite terrifying, and his character isn't an unrealistic one. Situations such as this could happen (the movie thankfully just about stops short of beating one over the head with its message).
Unhinged is certainly flawed, but it's high octane action, memorable villain, and sudden dashes of brutality make it a compelling watch.
