Critics Consensus

Russell Crowe makes for a compulsively watchable villain, but Unhinged lacks enough intelligence or depth to get sufficient mileage out of its pulpy premise.

Read Critics Reviews

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Screenwriter Carl Ellsworth and director Derrick Borte leave you gasping in a brutal thriller with a cynical view of the rage festering in all of us.

Rated: 3/4

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

No one shows anger boiling in the stomach quite like Crowe, who finds a way to kick-start this material - vicious trash, at a glance - by touring us around a mindset that's impressively credible in the circumstances.

Rated: 4/5

It's hard to imagine anyone desperate to an "Unhinged" degree.

...Unhinged is a short, punchy, unpretentious thriller in the vein of The Hitcher or Night of the Juggler with a beefy villainous role for Aussie star Russell Crowe, tonnes of vehicular mayhem, and a tight little B-movie story that delivers the goods...

Rated: 4/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

the choice to only vaguely explain his rage undoes either the unexplainable terror or give the character some nuance.

Rated: 2.5/5
