Film Reviews by BW

My first experience of Mad Max. There's little to recommend. For fans of the action chase genre (?) I guess it's a must but it's not going to rate against your The Fast and The Furious. Some of the scenes are visually quite stunning. I wonder if the budget might have been better spent on flowers or something. Plus there's a very weak ending to look out for. I didn't really think about it much. I sleepily just let it roll. Yes, on the whole I would agree it was pants.

Pretty disappointing. Slightly reminded me of Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut' or even 'Secretary' in its attempts at building an atmosphere of erotic tension but it lacked something and failed to carry it off. Beautiful photography throughout - I couldn't fault that - but the characters were unlikeable and ultimately the whole thing felt false.
