Mad Max: Fury Road
Success or Fail?
In a stark desert landscape where humanity is
broken, two rebels just might be able to restore order: Max, a man of action and of few words, and Furiosa, a woman of action who is looking to make it back to her childhood homeland.
Mad Max: Fury Road Trailer
Mad Max: Fury Road was worth waiting 30 years for… a testament to
the power of brute-force imagination—and proof that filmmakers can still create something out of nothing. – Angela Watercutter, Wired.
"Mad Max" doesn't just depict conflicts with evildoers in a tattered existence. It delivers a rare alternative to aggressively stupid action movies. At a time of great need, Max rides again. - Eric Khon, IndieWire
Reviews
Max’s re-enfranchisement is a triumph of barking-mad
imagination, jaw-dropping action, crackpot humour, and acting in the face of a hurricane. – Ian Nathan, Empire.
“Mad Max: Fury Road,” a gleefully violent—and improbably feminist—phantasmagoria that turns epic road rage and long stretches of vehicular omnicide into an eye-boggling joy ride. – Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
