Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Jay S — 01 Feb 2018

I can recall being a huge skeptic about a modernized Mad Max film. I'm very glad my skepticism was proven wrong, as this turned out to be an unexpected masterpiece. The film has plenty of strange tidbits and ideas that all worked wonderfully together; from the unusually delivered dialogue, to the outlandish characters, to the dystopian culture imagined by George Miller himself.

It's an action thriller where the true treat of the film is not the action itself, but rather it's everything else surrounding it. Tom Hardy helms the title role, but its Charlize Theron who owns the film with the strongest performance out of everyone, portraying a character of ferocity and guts who also has vulnerable side to her.

Also recognition to an excellent supporting cast including Keough, Kravitz, H-Whiteley, and Eaton as the "wives," and Hoult as "Nux the war boy.".
