Possibly the Best Action Film Ever

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2019)

This is the best action film that I've ever seen. I love everything about it. The visuals are absolutely stunning and the special effects are up there with the best of the best. But, what really takes Mad Max to the next level is its subtlety. It uses subtlety in a way that not too many other films can, let alone action films. Sure, there is some dialogue that is too blatant in its goal to move the story forward but most of the world-building and plot movement comes not from dialogue but from everything else. The all-out action, the changes in scenery and the characters' general demeanor all help shape the world that the movie takes place in and tell the story. This is a credit to everyone involved in the film. Everything is done so well. The visuals, sound, acting, directing, everything. This not just a ridiculous two hour long car chase, this is a masterpiece.
