“Crazy” R-rated Russell Crowe movie with divisive Rotten Tomatoes score climbs Netflix charts
One of the latest Netflix hits is a forgotten Russell Crowe flick, but you might find yourself in a love-it-or-hate-it situation with Unhinged.
It might seem like recent months have been dominated by true crime onNetflix, but you can still find a fair few schlockyaction movieson the platform, too.
The latest is Unhinged, which stars Russell Crowe as Tom, a raging psychopath who embarks on a car-fueled battle with a woman just trying to get her son to school.
The woman, Rachel, makes the near-fatal mistake of honking at Tom and overtaking him when he doesn’t drive through a green light. He then promises her he’ll teach her “what it means to have a bad day.”
Ensue: road races and near-death accidents all at the hands of Tom. So, it’s kind of a combination of Falling Down and Duel.
If you think this sounds good, you’d be half right. On Rotten Tomatoes, Unhinged has something of a conflicting score, with 48% on the Tomatometer and 77% on the Popcornmeter. Despite this, it’s now at the number two spot on thestreaming service’smovies chart.
On the review front, the feedback is split between raging responses and disbelief at the film’s often unrealistic action.
