Road rage is taking 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). Now playing at Movieland
