unrelenting action

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2016)

Max (Tom Hardy) is haunted by his past failures to save the innocent. He is captured by Immortan Joe and his men. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is driving the war rig to transport to Gas Town and Bullet Farm. Instead, she has freed Immortan Joe's imprisoned wives and escaping back to her former home, the Green Place. Max is chained as a blood bag on the front of his car with War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult).
The action is unrelenting. The car stunts are amazing and fully worthy of the Mad Max name. It is pure energy on screen. The only thing missing is a gyrocopter and Mel Gibson. Tom Hardy is physically acceptable as Mad Max although I'm not thrilled with the character. He's lost a bit of the spark. The spark he lost has been transferred to Furiosa and has lit a blazing inferno. She is more Mad Max than Mad Max. I am also pleasantly surprised that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is actually good in this movie. The action, the outrageous vehicles and the pure energy make this something unlike anything else. I would suggest putting the stunts in the closing credits Jackie Chan style.
