Unhinged - Kritiken

Crowe, never known for nuance, dispatches all subtlety with this pain-pill-addicted bulldozer of a man, working through some idiotic morality...

Buckle up (...) for the guilty thrill of seeing a star who’s played square-jawed icons from Robin Hood to Superman’s dad going full Mad Maximus.

...it’s the best showcase Russell Crowe‘s had in forever.

...it is genuinely compelling — especially when the film reveals the cause of Crowe’s irrational hatred for perceived rudeness.

Russell Crowe’s car chase thriller is an entertaining send-up of emasculated men.

As a psychothriller, it gives itself one simple assignment – to set your heart rate pounding through the roof. And on this level, with a lurid voltage that might require health warnings, it nastily delivers.

Director Derrick Borte keeps viewers on the edge of their passenger seat, revving up identifiable tension and driving through the most extreme version of a scenario many people worry about.

Unhinged has Russell Crowe giving one of the best villainous performances of the year, he is truly terrifying in the role...

”Unhinged” levererar det titeln lovar och mer därtill.

Ondsindet og fascinerende Russell Crowe-thriller trækker på filmiske forbilleder, men er skræmmende realistisk med tanke på tidens massemord.
