Hyped to the limit

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2015)

Well the hype machine was running on pure nitro for this one. One long road chase. No real story. Characters had no real character and the actors looked bored/embarrassed to be there. None of the charm of the original. This was a pitiful excuse of a remake of Road Warrior, although the film makers deny this. If you want to watch roaring cars driving through the desert whilst assorted petrol bombs and bullets fly by, then you're going to enjoy this. If you're looking for something with a bit more substance, then you'll have more luck sticking to your hot dog, because that will have much more than this film contained. I really thought this film was going to be a let down, but I made the mistake of believing the extraordinary high score on IMDb was an indication that I may be wrong. On seeing the film I now know I should have stuck with my initial feelings.
