G321 Thriller Research - Mad Max Review.

Crazy bikers to desperation for fuel, in this review I will be talking about one of George Miller’s most popular movies and soon a series “Mad Max”.

Mad Max is a 1979 Dystopian action movie set in Australia directed by George Miller, produced by Byron Kennedy and starring Mel Gibson as the title role as “Max Rockatansky”. The movie is about a group of Australian officers trying to eradicate a bike gang led by “The Toecutter” (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne).

This may be different that Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Vol. 1 which were my past reviews but Mad Max uses really visually pleasing effects, no computers and CGI were used, instead professionals and hand crafted effects were used, in the year 1979 computers were not capable of editing film but the film makers proved that computers are not needed to produce such a masterpiece feature. Due to the success of the movie, Miller went on to spawn three more movies the first two being direct sequels to the original story line the films were “Mad Max: The Road Warrior” and “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdrome” and a reboot movie to the series and the fourth movie in the series titled “Mad Max Fury Road” which replaced Mel Gibson for Tom Hardy who took over the role of Max.

Mad Max mixes both action and thriller aspects for action it uses a character who can defy gravity and survive unlikely events, and for thriller taking place in a realistic setting and dangerous locations such as the hideout of the bike gang.

Mad Max is quite restricted and does not show much violence but that all changed in the sequels (not as bad as Kill Bill violence levels).

Overall the movie is too a must see and it is an absolute classic it cannot be missed, the sequels I will think will be great (I will review the rest of the Mad Max series in the future, stay alert for those).
