Review of Unhinged (2020) by The_Film_Critic — 05 Jul 2021

Steaming pile of garbage.

We watched the movie, expecting to be entertained. Our expectations were low, but holy hell. Little did we know our minds were about to be blown, but not in a good way. The plot just straight-up died around minute 10, and the movie quickly deteriorated into a fever dream. As Murphy's Law dictates: "Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong." Nosedive #1:

The plot took its first serious hit, when the antagonist proceeded to smash Andy into a pulp in front of a packed restaurant, while nobody seemed to care a murder was happening in front of them. Nosedive #2:

We were on the "peak cringe" as we discovered that the master plan to defeating the driver was a goddamn FORTNITE strategy that was mentioned early on by Kyle. It is especially cringy, when you consider that the writers "foreshadowed" the takedown during a telephone call between Kyle and his father. Nosedive #3:

How in the world does an actor like Russell Crowe come even a mile close to this movie? It becomes clear that Crowe is in some serious financial trouble, no self-respecting actor would ever agree to participate in such a load of Bullcrap. This has got to be the lowest point in Crowe's acting career, let alone any actor's career.

Nosedive #4:

The script is too whack to comprehend. Not once does the police even give a **** about a mother and son being chased by a crazy lunatic. The excuses were so far-fetched that you'd be more successful finding a hot single in your area than coming up with those. "We were busy", bruh, they're the police force and they couldn't dispatch EVEN ONE car to help them. Jesus christ, this just speaks of how lazy the writers were. At times, the dialogue feels like an out of season April fools joke. We could name all the instances where the movie dialogue shriveled up and died, but we'd be able to write a 40-page paper. The plot feels like a script bought off of fiverr for 10 bucks. The movie continues to commit cardinal sins every 2 minutes, but going into detail would bore you to death. The script reads like your local methhead's hallucenogenic diary. The dialogue feels like a slap to your face and an insult to your intelligence. All in all, this movie is 90 minutes too long and should never have seen the light of day. It should've been incinerated straight away and it still blows me away that anybody said "Hell yea, let's make this". To enjoy this movie, you'll have to be on serious drugs and/or alcohol. On a more positive note, the average viewer of this movie will experience the 8th wonder of Humanity, namely its destructive tendency to make absolute garbage when given millions of dollars of budget.

It is truly amazing that there are people in this world, who pretend to see a deeper meaning behind this plot, especially when the last scene reduces the message of the movie to "Honking bad". The movie is destroying itself by the minute and we're all grateful that "the trash bin can be emptied", with a clear conscience.
