Damn, I thought this was a pretty good movie. I winced many times, which is good, and it made me on edge many times.

Also, shoutout to Caren Pistorius. Her performance was pretty good. It was a solid movie I'd more than likely watch again or revisit.… Expand

The movie is super intense and very gruesome which I didn't expect. Russell crow plays a crazy person really well and all the others actors are great. I really enjoyed this.

It is not the best movie you'll ever find but it is actually worth a watch.

Russell Crowe delivers a good performance as a mad guy who had a bad day and just takes it against our main character giving her a hell of a bad day. The premise isIt is not the best movie you'll ever find but it is actually worth a watch.

Russell Crowe delivers a good performance as a mad guy who had a bad day and just takes it against our main character giving her a hell of a bad day.

The premise is ok, a mentally unstable guy can start stalking you for the simplest of reasons like "a car honk" instead of a "Courtesy tap".

The movie keeps you in suspense the whole 87 minutes of its extent but to be honest, you have to shut your mind to reality and logic during some of the scenes in which a 120 KG guy can dissappear quickly and unnoticed from inside of a flipped over car or just the stupid police which knowing the face, the name, the car and everything about the guy do not chase him while he destroys half the city crashing cars everywhere he goes.

In short, this is a good movie to watch and enjoy, just remember, this is a movie and does not have to follow the rules of reality.… Expand

There is nothing wrong with a dumb movie. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and unhook your brain and watch Russell Crowe chuck a Nicolas Cage.

Great film where it takes most of its canon and suspense in phone calls and cars and DOES IT RIGHT. Please watch it!

Playing a man who has lost it after the loss of his job and marriage, The Man kills his ex and her partner before burning down their home and vanishing into the night.

Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is a woman who is seeing her world slowly crumble around her. She is in the midst of a contentious divorce, has just lost her best client, and is struggling to take care of her son while dealing with her brother in financing moving in with her so she can afford to pay for a needed care home for a family member.

As one thing after another mounts for Rachel and dealing with heavy traffic as she tries to get her son to school to avoid a detention for being tardy; she honks and makes and aggressive turn in front of the Man. He takes offense to this and drives alongside Rachel and demands a since apology for her actions. Rachel has long since lost any sense of caring and does not provide a sufficient response which further triggers the Man.

As some very aggressive road rage follows; Rachel believes she has put it behind her and drops her son off at his school. While filling up her gas tank Rachel sees that the Man is following her and when her efforts to diffuse the situation further trigger the Man she sees just how dangerous and highly unstable individual he is.

What follows is a deadly game of cat and mouse as the Man taunts Rachel while exacting his revenge on those in her life all the while preparing for his next encounter with her.

Crowe is fantastic and gives a very intense performance without ever going too far over the top and becoming campy with his performance which is often the case in films of this type. He is a compelling adversary who commands the attention of the viewer and one can see that he is an individual who has simply snapped from the pressures and reality of life and believes his actions are justified.

While I was able to predict one of the big moments near the end of the film; it was delivered In a slightly different way which was refreshing. The film was intense and compelling and Director Derrick Borte keeps things from become too over the top especially in the last part of the film where Hollywood standards for the genre did tend to come in the play.

The film wisely relies on the strength of Crowe and the supporting performances and provides a welcome return to cinematic features for viewers as long as they are willing to overlook some minor things and focus on the intense story and compelling performances.… Expand

He can happen to you is the tag line, and it’s true. This movie is great. The performance of Russell Crowe was fantastic. There was good action, good story, and it wasn’t overly corny. Definitely check this out.

Road rage is taken its most violent route in this downright gripping thriller.

A woman (Caren Pistorius) is having a bad day, which is made worse (much worse) when she has an altercation with a very upset and yes, unhinged driver (Russell Crowe). What could have been avoided with a simple apology turns into a non-stop series of malicious encounters, including several spectacular car crashes. To make a movie like this effective, you need a good villain and Crowe brings all of his talent to create this extremely bad guy. Director Derrick Borte has staged every scene with assured power and continual tension. This is one of those sure-fire audience pleasers that would have the viewers screaming at the screen (if only we could have crowds).… Expand

I'll make this short. The premise is simple. A man had road rage against a woman and her son. The acting is good. Russell Crowe sells a maniac. He steals the show.

I really enjoyed this, as a fan of fast paced action thrillers but more specifically as a fan of fast car chases. Ok so some plot elements don't entirely work or make complete sense but its a tense and engrossing watch, once the pace speedensI really enjoyed this, as a fan of fast paced action thrillers but more specifically as a fan of fast car chases. Ok so some plot elements don't entirely work or make complete sense but its a tense and engrossing watch, once the pace speedens up within the first 20 minutes or so. I was also surprised by how Russell Crowe looked in the film - has he been bulking up or was he wearing a fat suit? I don't know and the accent was perhaps mildly cringey but in any case, he plays a pretty sinister character. Its a reasonably short film at just under an hour and a half long but I felt quite gripped to the screen and there are some decent special effects present. Its maybe not the most amazing or original of films but if your looking for a fast paced/high octane thriller you can switch off and enjoy, this is a good bet. Yes, I'd recommend this film.… Expand
