Unhinged (2020 film)

In the midst of rain at 4:03am, Tom Cooper is parked outside of his ex-wife's house. He is in pain and consumes one tablet of hydrocodone. He then removes his wedding ring, tossing it with contempt into the back seat. Tom grabs a hammer, a can of gasoline, and breaks into the house where he kills his ex-wife and her boyfriend. He then sets the house aflame. It explodes as he drives away. The following morning, Rachel Flynn, a newly divorced single mother, drives her son Kyle to school during rush hour traffic. As she is running late to work, one of her clients fires her over the phone. She then honks at Tom's pickup truck, which is blocking traffic at a green light. He catches up to Rachel and tries to apologize, then asks for an apology in return, saying that he wants to "hit reset", and that "people should apologize for anything they do wrong". Rachel says that she has nothing to apologize for. In return, Tom promises to teach her "what it means to have a bad day". At the end of the road, Tom drives in front of Rachel and stops. He then drives away. Unsettled, she arranges to meet her friend Andy, who is also her divorce lawyer, at a diner. Tom tracks Rachel to a gas station and switches his phone with hers while she is inside paying for her gas. Rachel sees him outside and gets help from a customer who accompanies her back to her car. The customer gets Tom's license plate number but is then rammed by the truck, which leads him to getting hit and killed by another car. A chase ensues, during which Tom shows Rachel that he has her phone. He uses her daily planner to locate Andy at the diner. Before she can warn Andy, Tom beats and stabs him to death in front of everyone while being filmed by a customer. Tom tells Rachel over the phone that she must choose another one of her contacts to die next. He suggests her ex-husband, her mother, or Kyle. She instead names the client who fired her, then calls the police, who respond to the client's home while Rachel races to Kyle's school. Meanwhile, Tom arrives at Rachel's home, where her brother Fred and his fiancée Mary live. Tom confronts him, holding Mary hostage, before repeatedly pushing her into Fred's knife, killing her. He then ties Fred to a chair and tells Rachel over the phone that she has three minutes to go into the school, get Kyle, and drive away, or he will kill Fred, as he wants him to read a letter about how Rachel is a liar. Rachel desperately demands that the principal release Kyle. She gets Kyle and drives away. When a police officer arrives at Rachel's house, Tom sets Fred on fire. The cop shoots Tom in the shoulder and tries to put the fire out. Tom escapes and catches up to Rachel and Kyle on a highway. They use a GPS app to learn that Tom is in a minivan (for which he killed someone) and is directly in front of them. When they attempt to alert a nearby officer, Tom rams his car, causing a multi-vehicle car accident. Tom pursues Rachel to her mother's house where Kyle triggers a silent alarm and hides. Rachel rams the van that Tom is driving, flipping the vehicle. Tom gets out, attacks Rachel, and enters the house in search of Kyle, intent on killing him next. As Tom is about to leave, Kyle inadvertently alerts him to his hiding place upstairs. Rachel comes to and enters the house to protect Kyle, but Tom finds her and they struggle, Kyle attacking Tom. When Tom begins to strangle Kyle, Rachel stabs Tom in the eye with a pair of scissors, killing him. The police arrive and inform Rachel that Fred survived the attack. Rachel and Kyle leave to see Fred at the hospital. As they drive away, a car cuts Rachel off and she stops herself from honking at the angry driver. Kyle observes this and says, "Good choice." They drive away. ==Cast==
