Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road

Taking the final act of The Road Warrior and stretching it out for an entire film was a stroke of mad genius by George Miller but Fury Road pays off in heeps. With more fire and brimstone, extravagantly deranged, ear-splittingly cacophonous, and entirely over-the-top; the definition of a wholly unapologetically action-packed film that mixes the old and the new. Although it's cold, violent and visceral you can also feel the underlying elements of hope, loyalty, reverence and redemption and it's one that Miller carries with exceptional prowess. With its wall-to-wall high-octane action, insane practical stunts and highly stylised production, everything about the film just works, from its highly decorated cast to its pulse-pounding (if overly repetitive, mind numbing) score and controlled chaos. It's an amazing, full-tilt assault on the senses and one of the most brilliant pieces of mayhem to ever hit the screen. Like an insane 80's B-movie, but one made with thought, effort, and enough of a budget to match its deranged aspirations.
