Review

For two thirds of Unhinged, director Derrick Borte is making a great film. A psychological thriller with an expert combo of breathtaking realism and bleak social commentary. A Falling Down for the 2020s, with a perspective and a background story that make the extreme premise palpable, even for a shielded European. Then a landslide of Hollywood conventions, genre cliches and B-movie aesthetics set in and make the final 20 minutes or so almost unwatchable. You build something up, then you destroy it, seemingly on purpose. Young Gabriel Bateman finds the right energy and is a pleasure to watch as the son.
