Unhinged Movie Review Just One Bad Day to Make Someone Crazy

Russell Crowe returns to the silver screen with filmhis latest thriller , Unhinged . Directed by Derrick Borte and briefly aired in America last July, this film shows how one bad day is enough to make one's sanity fall to the deepest point.

In Unhinged , Russell Crowe played a character named Tom Cooper who was under a lot of stress. He found his wife cheating on him. In an unstable mental state, Cooper 'exploded'. He vented his frustration by burning the house of the mistress, complete with his wife. In just one day Cooper turned from a husband to a psychopath.

Unhinged didn't show Cooper's madness from his perspective alone. In order for the audience to get a complete picture of the impact of “one bad day”, Unhinged shows it from the perspective of a woman named Rachel Flynn.

Flynn eleven twelve with Cooper. He is both under heavy stress. Her life was chaotic, starting from her husband being divorced, being fired from her job, to having difficulty taking care of her own child.

Whether the world is kidding or not, Flynn is reunited with Cooper. The two met on the highway, when Cooper unconsciously stopped his car in the middle of a green light.

The congested streets of the capital city in Unhinged are the perfect setting to exploit these unstable emotions and bad days. Anyone must have felt how traffic jams in the capital city were able to push curses out of the mouth and a heart that was so gentle became overly sensitive. Just touch a little and fighting can take place on the sidewalk. Just look at broadcast 86 for proof.

The writer, indirectly, learns that there are all kinds of people around us. We never know whether someone is in the best mood or not. Chaotic situations such as traffic jams can turn someone into a “monster”. Therefore, empathy and anger management are important, so that the anger we vent does not end up in a complicated situation.
