MAD MAX (Theatrical Release USA 1980)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Mad Max—
classic, fresh, highly imaginative—stars a young Australian, Mel Gibson, and gives us a look into the movie making skills of George Miller. The acting? The story? The portrayal? Outstanding on all counts. Exceptionally interesting interpretation of the future, Australian style.
