Review of Unhinged

Unhinged (I) (2020)
5/10
A thriller with few thrills
27 April 2021
This is the story of a man that is having a really bad day and decides to mete out his own form of justice against those her feel slighted him. While at a traffic light, a mother and her son are behind him and running late. She lays on the horn and then goes around him. The man demands an apology, which he does not receive and this begins a game of cat and mouse with deadly consequences.

Mr. Crowe does his usual great job at portraying the character known as The Man and there are a couple of tense moments laced throughout. However, this film falls short on providing any actual thrills. I never felt that the protagonist or her son were ever in any mortal danger and telegraphed the ending almost as soon as the movie started. Falling Down with Michael Douglas was a far superior film about a man reaching his wit's end and that movie is over twenty years old.

Overall, a decent enough movie that you should watch if you are a Crowe fan.
