Unhinged - Außer Kontrolle

Let's just start off with this, It Is A Movie.

It just kills me when people carry on about believability when watching a fast paced action thriller. What are the odds of someone living through something like this vouching for the realities of the situation? In all honesty, most of us like to think we know what we would do but is there a chance that the pressure, fear and self preservation of the moment could alter our decision making skills? I think it could and I chose to look at films like this with that in mind. These were the decisions they made in the moment and only the absolutely absurd should fall into a category of unrealistic.

I liked this. Russell Crowe was fantastic in his portrayal of a fed up lunatic. He really did a great job. I thought the story could have benefited with a bit more backstory on the characters but it was decent. The action scenes were well choreographed and the special effects were nicely done. It was a tense ride for sure and it got pretty brutal at times. I'm a horror buff so that is right up my alley but I read a review that described it as torture porn and it's not that bad unless you are a total lightweight.

I know this will be a film I watch more than once. Forget the review snobs and check it out for yourself.

I hadn't seen a trailer or heard anything about this movie when I saw it, and I was pleasantly surprised, I wasn't expecting a horror movie. This movie isn't perfect, it's not even very original, but it's a very serviceable horror movie, good intense car action. Characters are alright but the gladiator guy is the best part. Makes me think twice about honking at people

This movie had me stressed from start to finish. Russell Crowe is so menacing and believable. Somehow I don't think this role was much of a stretch for Rusty! We left the cinema and was sitting at a green light and the car in front of us didn't move. We just sat there, too scared to toot the horn!

Slow start, more action as it goes but it's difficult to get over how the cops can't get this guy

The 6 rating is mainly for Russell Crow. I mean if she would have given that courtesy honk in the first place all of this could have been avoided.
