Through the years I’ve seen a lot Mad Max trilogy related pictures, but never watched the movies themselves. I knew nothing very little about them, except that Mel Gibson was starring in it. When I watched it it became clear (very quickly) that this movie wasn’t made on a big budget. Despite the small budget the end result is worth watching.
The movie is set in the future where the Australian roads are being terrorised by motorcycle gangs and it’s up to the police to catch them. That’s enough reason to film a lot of car chases.
In the first half of the movie a lot of chases are shown and as a viewer you get to see what one of the gangs is up to. There really isn’t much of story to it, but it did improve in the second part of the film.
There are a lot of spectacular chase shots which were filmed from other cars and they really are the reason why I’ve scored the movie a 7 instead of a 6. It wasn’t until the last 30 minutes that I really got into it and really was enjoying it.
Score: 7
