+{{ stars(stars=2) }}
+
+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.
