Great movie much better what Hollywood pushes these days.
Oh and Simon if u don’t get the story that seems like a personal problem…. I’m sorry that you cant think…
Yeah Mad Max was good for its time but this isn’t a rip off. Oh and if u were wondering How can that banger keep up with that Bentley Continental GT, um… its called a non straight road where u cant go 200 mph unless you are planning to drive off a cliff… As I said I’m so sorry that you were born with half a brain.

This has got to be one of the worse films I have ever seen. It’s a total rip off from other films Mad Max etc.
The story makes no sense and scenes seem to have been cut and your left asking yourself what just happened.

How can that banger keep up with that Bentley Continental GT, it was like a Ford Escort top speed of 110mph keeping up with a Bentley that can go 200mph yeah good one :S

The acting is awful, its cheese beyond all cheese and hopefully this film isn’t serious.

Totally agree with your take on things Sean (2035. NOW.) Another way of saying this is if you dug on Escape From L.A. you’ll probably be on board for this one.

This would have been a perfect film if they managed to get the story/emotion/pacing balance right (I’m thinking James Cameron as the benchmark for this type of thing), but as a huge love-letter to the genre (originality be damned!) along the lines of Grindhouse (in particular Planet Terror)…Marshall has nailed it.

I had a blast. Especially the gratuitous ‘bunny slaying’ and the ‘corpse in the passenger seat’ and the ‘naked women firing shotgun’ details. Things like that sell what Marshall was going for. For those who did not find those things particularly hilarious, then well, you probably spent the time nitpicking the details (fair enough, not much makes sense in the film)…
