Road rage becomes revved to the max in this thrill ride about a man who terrorizes a mother and her son. Although plots points are fairly predictable, the story contains a few tense sequences, include a brutal murder at a diner. Caren Pistorius (Slow West) continues to exhibit range in a role that allows for vulnerability and ingenuity. But Russell Crowe is the main draw to see the film. His menacing performance and Ford truck render New Orleans claustrophobic—they always seem to be tailgating your bumper. Unhinged isn’t Duel or Speed, but it’ll keep you entertained for 90 minutes.

It’s a shame Dreamland most likely won’t reach a wider audience. Other critics have unfairly compared it to Bonnie and Clyde, but what Dreamland lacks in narrative cohesion and thrills—save for an intense dust storm sequence—it compensates with its interiorized character study. Lyle Vincent’s (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) cinematography, Meredith Lippincott’s production design, and Patrick Higgins’ score perfectly capture Depression-era period detail. Most of all, the film is buoyed by Margot Robbie (who also served as a producer), whose performance as bank robber Allison Wells continues to exhibit her innate ability to inhabit compelling, characters.

Stephen Lang. William Sadler. Fred Williamson. Martin Kove. David Patrick Kelly. George Wendt. When’s the last time you’ve seen these actors have so much fun in a movie? VFW is a gory siege film with a pulsing Carpenter-esque score about war vets defending a young woman who’s stolen a gang’s cache of drugs. However, audiences won’t care for her unlikeable character. Harsh blue-red lighting and flat villains also affect overall enjoyment. Because of the charisma, natural dialogue, and camaraderie Lang and co. bring, I’m willing to overlook VFW’s flaws and go along for the ride. Because it’s still pretty badass.
