Review: Mad Max is back, and he's got to show the madmen of the post apocalyptic Australian Outback exactly why he's named Mad Max. Max stumbles upon a small outpost of civilized people, pumping oil and refining it, in hopes of having enough to get them to a better place, but are surrounded by vicious savages bent on rape and murder to get the refinery. A stark look at life after the bomb, i thought Road Warrior was a definite step up from the original Mad Max, and a much better story as well as quality. Filled with action that gives it the name, Road Warrior is a violent and unflinching look at the inhumanity of those who can toward those who don't. Mostly it's an excuse to drive muscle cars and crash things. However you want to look at it, i thought it was a good adventure film and not much more. It is Mad Max after all, not Plato. Littles will find the bad guys scary as all get out, and the violence will turn off many as will the language, so keep that in mind.
