Tom Hardy! The name just keeps proving itself.

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2015)

I didn't watch the earlier Mad Max movies. I just went with an empty page and brought back a lyrical note with George Miller's signature all over it.
In a post-apocalyptic era, when mere survival is a luxury, an ex- policeman, Max (Tom hardy) tries to evade a pack of blood thirsty, demonic destructive men who work for the most formidable of all warlords named Immortan Joe. Max, haunted by his past humane memories fails to escape and gets embroiled in a heist led by a revolting commander in chief Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron). What follows is an intense, thrilling, real steel (by real I mean real) battle between an atrocious, seemingly invincible army of scavengers and a handful of strong willed and not so scavenging people. The magic of this movie lies in depiction. It beautifully brings alive the horror of apocalypse. That palpable vigor to kill evident among all characters suggests the utter desperation to live and yet feel the agony of it. All action sequences are superbly crafted. While watching this in 3D, I ducked a couple of blows to avoid getting hurt. In this absolute mayhem, the least mad of all, Max nonchalantly deals with the worst physical blows a person can imagine. Hardy's intensity is a treat to watch. Charlize Theron portrays a role of a fierce warrior with a woman's heart. Occasional sights of water and Rosie soothed the eyes in an otherwise dusty and violent story of Max.
