Russell Crowe

[Ginger]

Looks like a documentary about what real-life Russell Crowe does when someone pisses him off in traffic.

I haven't seen all that many Russell Crowe movies lately, but it seems like he "had to gain weight for the part" for every movie he's done for the past 12 years.

[Spinderella]

Shit. That's a really f-ed up movie.

I feel like with all that's happening in our world right now, this is the last movie that should be released giving angry white men an excuse to be even more deranged and abusive. But yes, it's right up there with Russell's day-to-day anger management issues.

I agree. This is a terrible concept for a movie. Let’s celebrate middle-aged white men behaving abusively/criminally towards women and children with no repercussions for a minor altercation!

I hope the woman’s character kills Crowe’s character. Am I allowed to wish bad things on fictional characters?

This is supposed to be the first movie to open in theaters on July 1. Way to read the room, movie executives! Just what we want during a pandemic and widespread civil unrest! A movie about a selfish white man with a dangerous temper. We already have one of those.

I read some of the comments and the one that made me laugh was: “John Goodman is looking fine!”

(I love John Goodman and wish him a long and happy life.)

Seriously, wtf? Here's a quote from the Rotten Tomatoes page for the movie (bolding mine):

Soon, Rachel finds herself and everyone she loves the target of a man who feels invisible and is looking to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons.

They might as well have said "forgotten". What's next, a "psychological thriller" about a young man who feels invisible and therefore decides to stock up on bullets, grabs his AR-15, and heads to the nearby high school?

I stopped watching the trailer halfway through, because traffic jams, road rage, etc just give me anxiety, lol.
Anyway, I won't be rushing to see a movie in a theater for awhile, but even if I was eager to rush back to do so, this isn't the one I'd choose to be seeing. Give a nice escapist type film, not one that will raise my blood pressure.

[Ladybug]

We've had several incidents in the Metroplex where people have been shot and killed in their cars so I have no desire to see road rage depicted onscreen. It's one of my legitimate fears when I'm out on the highways. And I've been stuck in so much New Orleans traffic over the years that I could clearly recognize several of those highways, bridges, and intersections shown in the trailer. Why would I want to watch a movie about this? NO THANKS!

And I'll echo what y'all have said about releasing a movie about white male rage in the current social climate - WTF?

I don't know who the actress is, but she looks like Jennifer Connelly.

Yeah, do we really need another movie about an incel with an entitlement problem?

I've been terrorized by a road-raging maniac in a pickup before, so I'm not interested in this movie. Especially because the trailer makes it look like perfect bait for guys who want to idolize his character.

It sounds like Duel by Richard Matheson in 1971. It starred Dennis Weaver and it was terrifying. The truck was the bad guy. You never saw the driver. Just the front of the huge truck, trying to destroy Weaver. Same plot. I think Weaver cuts the trucker off and fingers fly.

This was before the term “road rage”. I think my issue is it’s been done better 50 years ago (I’m old....). And by showing the bad guy, there is too much of a chance to root for him. It also looks like it sucks. Sucks buckets. I really liked The Nice Guys, so much I watch it about once a month. But maybe that because I love Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Iron Man 3).

It reminded me of Falling Down, the Michael Douglas movie from the 90s.
