Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Zac C — 04 Mar 2016

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is metal as fuck. It's the purest and one of the best straight action films I've seen.

While the film rarely takes a breath during its two hour runtime, the little snippets of characterization provide compelling reasons to root for the heroes, and even sympathize with its villains. Also, while I don't know if you could call it a "feminist piece", it handles a surprising wealth of female characters with incredible grace, never falling prey to the genre's most common failings of damseling its women or having them overcompensate with fierce masculinity. In fact, all the colorful characters in the film simply... are. They feel like effortless extensions of the mad world they inhabit. Even the antagonist's crazed henchmen are given proper motivations for their behavior.
