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. |
