The movie starts with a Crowe of the size of a Goodman attacking a couple with |
||||||
|
a hammer and then burning a house. After that, we switch for a family of a |
||||||
|
disorganized mother (Caren Pistorius), who just got fired and it is late to |
||||||
|
take her kid to school. In a traffic light, a truck -- later shown as being |
||||||
|
driven by Crowe -- doesn't move when the lights turn green, she presses the car |
||||||
|
horn too strongly, the guy on the truck gets pissed, gets no "I'm sorry" and |
||||||
|
decides to show what a "bad day" is. Then the chase starts. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
... and that's basically it, and you can already figure out the end by the |
||||||
|
simple fact of how they shown Crowe as a bad guy and Pistorius as a |
||||||
|
bad-luck-mother. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What would be the main points of the movie, the chases in the streets, actually |
||||||
|
are very few and not that bad, accept that Crowe manages to create the worst |
||||||
|
case scenarios -- like a cop truck being smashed by a concrete truck -- out of |
||||||
|
pure luck -- or lack of luck for Pistorius, I don't know. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So you have the killings, which also seem like Crowe managed to think and plan |
||||||
|
all of them in advance, instead of being a spur of the moment. How? No idea. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actually, the whole thing is weird. I mean, ok, there is the road rage, but |
||||||
|
what broke Crowe in such way that he would kill people to torment a woman |
||||||
|
because a honk? Why he burned the house in the very beginning of the movie? |
||||||
|
Nothing is said about this and he's shown simply as "bad guy". |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While Crowe is still Crowe and delivers, the plot is too magical to actually |
||||||
|
make sense. |
