Unhinged - Movie Reviews (2024)

the choice to only vaguely explain his rage undoes either the unexplainable terror or give the character some nuance.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 4, 2024

Road rage gets a new and definitive definition.

Full Review | Dec 26, 2022

Screenwriter Carl Ellsworth and director Derrick Borte leave you gasping in a brutal thriller with a cynical view of the rage festering in all of us.

Stay for Crowe, who gives a performance in Unhinged that’s like a deranged rhino, or leave for the anemic plot that stands for nothing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 2, 2022

Unhinged's story may seem simple and straightforward, but this raucous road rage thriller still terrifies thanks to Russell Crowe's chilling commitment in the lead role.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

“Unhinged” is a simple yet satisfying thriller that by the end turns into full-on maniacal horror.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022

Mostly awful, but it somehow peaks into something sublimely awful by the third act.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Aug 10, 2021

Russell Crowe action flick has no deep meaning, it's just tense, fast entertainment that doesn't outstay its welcome for a lean 93 minutes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2021

Whoa, this was a lot more and intense than I had expected it to be. This is definitely one of Russell Crowe's most nerve-wracking and anxiety-inducing performances

Full Review | Original Score: 8.9/10 | May 26, 2021

As a study of an emasculated man seeking revenge it brings to mind Falling Down, Michael Douglas' 1993 black comedy, except Unhinged is all darkness and no comedy.

If there's an underlying message other than 'don't be rude to other drivers because they might be having a worse day than you,' I missed it.

Full Review | Jan 27, 2021

An honest and straightforward entertainment, as violent as viciously fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 12, 2021

It's just a shame the end product feels so middle of the road, something fun to watch in the moment but ultimately forgettable

The film's gaze skillfully mixes contextual projection... and knows how to avoid demagoguery no matter how well it embraces the spectacle. [Full review in Spanish]

A quick, fun little nail-biter.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 12, 2020

As long as it doesn't even pretend to have thoughts in its ugly little head, it's reasonably okay at being disreputable... Unfortunately, it tries to think rather too often.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 27, 2020

No one shows anger boiling in the stomach quite like Crowe, who finds a way to kick-start this material - vicious trash, at a glance - by touring us around a mindset that's impressively credible in the circ*mstances.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2020

A slasher movie on wheels. It ain't for the squeamish.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2020

This trashy anxiety-fest completely delivers upon what little it promises.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2020

The bones of an enjoyable thriller are here. But there's no meat on them.
