Unhinged

Stupidity: The minivan is involved in multiple serious accidents but shows very little damage.

Stupidity: The guy who offered to help Rachel go to her car at the gas station and get away from road-raging Tom walked directly in front of the path Tom would be taking to leave. When the guy realised Tom was going to run him over, he went onto the road instead of toward the store where he would be safer. Also, the guy - knowing Rachel's situation - foolishly told Tom that he got his plate number, which served to aggravate Tom into driving into him. (00:32:15)

Factual error: In the opening scene, Tom Cooper ("The Man") uses a hatchet or tactical tomahawk to break through the front door of a house and then bludgeon to death his ex-wife and her new boyfriend. The boyfriend was whacked over the head one time and, after falling to the floor, two more times with The Man leaning over his body. The man proceeded to the adjacent room to bludgeon his ex-wife an unknown number of times. He was able to exit the house with no visible blood on his body or clothes, which would be impossible after bludgeoning two people with a hatchet or tactical tomahawk. (00:03:15 - 00:04:02)

Trivia: "Aggressive driving" and "Road Rage" are not the same thing, but there is some overlap: Not all aggressive driving is road rage, but road rage is an extreme form of aggressive driving. In general, aggressive driving (such as tailgating) is classified as a traffic offense or summary offense (typically punishable by a fine but can result in suspension of driver's license and possibly include a short jail sentence) whereas road rage is classified as a criminal offense (and also falls under civil offenses or torts) because the intent is to cause harm. Road rage can take the form of an aggravated assault by vehicle (felony offense); less serious incidents are sometimes written up as "reckless driving", lowering the classification to a summary (traffic) offense. When a driver becomes angry, wants to cause harm to another person/driver, and a person is injured, the driver's behavior is deemed violent and subject to criminal prosecution as a felony offense.
