Unhinged

Unhinged is a tense reminder of how something as small as an apology can spiral into something life-changing when anger is left unchecked. The movie shows a simple traffic encounter where a woman refuses to say sorry to a stranger, played by Russell Crowe, and that moment becomes the trigger for a violent chain of events. What makes it disturbing is not just the brutality, but how believable the situation feels once you consider how quickly people can lose control when ego and frustration take over. At its core, Unhinged is less about road rage and more about consequences. It quietly suggests that “sorry” is not just a word, but sometimes a form of de-escalation that can prevent disaster. The film exaggerates reality for dramatic effect, but the message is clear: pride can be expensive. While it is definitely over-the-top and violent, it forces you to think about how everyday interactions with strangers can turn dangerous when empathy disappears and tempers rise.
