Split Second on AllMovie

A corporate lawyer on the brink of collapse finally snaps when a typical road-rage incident sends him spiraling into a murderous fury in this pressure-cooker tale of slow-burning tension starring Sin City and Inside Man's Clive Owen. With demands at both work and home weighing heavily on his tired shoulders, attorney Michael Anderson (Owen) is a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode. When the moment comes and Anderson does finally snap, the result is a chilling act of intentional violence that sparks headlines across the city. Now determined to cover up his actions and duck the consequences of his impulsive brutality, Anderson sinks ever deeper into a soul-corrupting world of dangerous deception that threatens not only to consume him but his unsuspecting friends, family, and co-workers as well.
