Post-apocalyptic desert car chase.

Most action movies these days, you just have to wait for the action scenes to be over so you can get on with the movie. Meanwhile, this movie is almost nothing but action, for two hours straight, and it is exciting from start to finish - impeccably shot and edited, and conceived with an uninhibited sense of fun. Any random sequence from this movie is easily a contender for the best action scene in the last five years. But what's with the casting of Max? Don't get me wrong, Tom Hardy's a great actor, but this role does not call for a great actor. It calls for an old, weathered Australian.

Pretty insane shit, but a fun dystopian film and new take on the world of Mad Max.
Like the previous two entries, preposterous, but clearly fun for the director. This is where Charlize Theron got her start as an action star. I guess I'm too bored to keep watching, though, so it can't be that good. Watch "Atomic Blonde" instead; Theron did this movie as a kind of warmup, I guess.
