Stutee Ghosh tells you why Mad Max - Fury Road is a must watch. An action packed film is thrilling and an uncompromising masterpiece of motion.
Here are 5 reasons why you should immediately book tickets for Mad Max - Fury Road:
1. Because candy floss romance and tepid action bores you to death. If blood and gore and high voltage action is what you dig then you can’t afford to miss this latest installment of the Mad Max franchise. Set in the distant future where the stench of death hangs heavy, director George Miller is back with a bang. Quite literally!
2. Because it makes complete sense to go check out the guy who replaces Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky from what can be best described as the latter’s alma mater. Mad Max: Fury Road is the first in the series to not have Mel Gibson in the lead. Tom Hardy hardly gives us any reason to complain playing his part with grit and all his heart.
3. Because damsels in distress are so passé. The film has some incredible female characters, feisty in the face of arrant danger. For all its bravado and machismo the film has an unmistakable feminist thread that makes for a refreshing watch.
4. Charlize Theron! Yes she should be reason enough to make a beeline for the movie. Lacking an arm, almost bald, war ravaged with melancholy eyes, Theron as the inimitable Furiona gives a power packed performance. Enough to keep us at the edge of our seat for most of the time.
5. And finally you have go watch it because you have waited for too long for a ‘true to its soul’ action thriller. The atrocious looking warlord Immortan Joe and his army of cadaverous war boys satiate your thirst for unmitigated and unabashed action. Not to forget you have waited even longer for a worthy sequel to the 1985 installment of Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome.
Strictly for the tough nuts who can stomach some ruthless frenzy on screen. I’ll go with 4 QUINTS out of 5. The Mills and Boons loving, faint-hearted souls should keep a safe distance from this one.
