Fury and a strong rush of adrenaline

Rating: 3/10 (21 February 2016)

A fast-paced film. Another glimpse into dystopia. A world of anarchy and loud sound. Sometimes you think you've found pages torn out 'Brave New York'. At others, a dipping into Nordic myths. What can one say: gratuitous violence. A long car chase. A display of military hardware that would fuel any terrorist's dreams. And then, it's a mug's game: a 21 century retelling in the outback of HG Wells 'Time machine'--the gentle or not so gentle Eloi against the repulsive Morlocks. Tom Hardy plays to type. And Charlize Theron doesn't. And saying that, even with crank-oil grease on her face her natural beauty surfaces without a blemish. Even with an arm lopped off, and so well sliced that it wound doesn't bleed, she manages to carry on stiff upper lipped. In all this is an action fill, requiring no thought, just your money, thank you very much.
