Friends of mine have been begging me to watch this movie for several years. I watched it last night. Anyone who reads my reviews (there are many) will know I regularly give Australian movies low scores...(only because they are mainly sub-standard.) This was far worse than I could have possibly imagined. If you like ...violence ...on outback roads in Australia...you MAY like this. Bad motor cycle gang comes into town...good guys (cops)...want them out. Things turn ugly, and our hero ...Mad Max...does what we expect a hero to do. It has an IMDb..score of 7. Lets be honest about this movie...it was made ..on a shoestring budget (and it shows). ..The direction is shaky ..the script awful , and let me be really brave----the acting woeful. I am Australian ...so I know how much this review is going to hurt them...(poor things)...Australia hates any criticism about anything Australian....yet they make movies like THIS.
