Russell Crowe in ‘Unhinged’: Film Review

coronavirus pandemic shut them down. Because, well, besides an energetically committed (no pun intended) performance from Russell Crowe, “Unhinged” comes off as a frankly mediocre effort, with no apparent point other than titillating (but somehow tedious) gore, misogynistic rage, and endless (though impressive) car crashes.

Like a crude and profane marriage between “Falling Down” and “Joker,” movies about aggrieved and disenfranchised American white men seemingly justified with their rage about a cruel and unfair world, director Derrick Borte’s reminiscent revenge thriller “Unhinged” is deeply misguided. “Unhinged” wants to map a similar Venn diagram sweet spot where the Worst Day Ever ™, a cruel lack of empathy, and selfish incivility trigger a point-of-no-return path to unholy violence and retribution.

unhinged pretty much says it all.

Any movie that casts Russell Crowe as a hulking great slab of thin-skinned, two-fisted, short-fuse machismo has got to be aiming a self-aware wink at its target audience. But the knowing humor ends right there with Unhinged, the kind of stubbornly lowbrow revenge thriller that could easily have been released 20 or 30 years ago, probably with a washed-up minor action star as the lead.
