9/10
My world is fire and blood
24 May 2015
Its a dark and brutal world, its the world of Max. The film opens with the dialogue

"My name is Max. My world is fire and blood."

The film begins. You are in for a ride as you enter this ugly yet visually breathtaking world.

The themes of slavery, the objectification of human beings and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are prominent throughout. The medium of storytelling an action film. This film is primarily one long epic car chase with maddening insane visuals and brilliant action sequences.

It was a solid thrilling ride that moved at a very fast pace with twisted dark humour. There is never a dull moment. Furosia(Charlize Theron) is a brilliant character who caries the film. Nux (Nicholas Hoult) was a pretty awesome character as well.

My only complaint is that the lead character Max doesn't have much to work with. He is reduced to a side character in his own film. Tom Hardy was okay as Max although he was no Mel Gibson.

8.5/10
