One of the best action films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2015)

'Mad Max: Fury Road' is directed by George Miller and stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult and is the fourth installment of the 'Mad Max' franchise. In this film, Max Rockatansky is captured by a warlord's henchmen and is taken to their fortress and is held captive. Once he escapes, he forms an unlikely partnership with former lieutenant, Furiosa, who is attempting to protect a group of people she cares for and return to her homeland. The action is superbly shot with no shaky-cam at all, it consists of wide-shots of chaos and anarchy throughout. This film is filled with relentless action and intense moments which are incredible. George Miller directs this film beautifully and with precision, so much so that I believe this film to be the best directed film of the year. The acting is excellent, especially that of Charlize Theron who portrays the persistent character of Furiosa. Tom Hardy is also great as the troubled character of Max who was previously played by Mel Gibson. The film is a non-stop action thrill ride but it also has a significant amount of feeling and emotion to it, especially scenes with Furiosa. Some scenes get really emotionally powerful later in the film. The film has an intimidating villain, a layered main character with intriguing side characters and amazing stunts. I well and truly loved this film. It is undoubtedly the best film I've seen this year and is easily one of the best action films I've ever seen.
