Mad Max (1979)

Second viewing; first viewed between 1983 and 1986.

Set in the near future, it features road violence committed by a gang of motorbikers, and the police work trying to stop them. One such policeman, named Max, wants to quit the force, but suffers a personal loss which will drive him into vengeance.

Thriller which has well filmed car action, but is otherwise little distinguished. Poorly reviewed upon its release, its critical reputation has since grown enormously, for reasons which still elude me.

Rating: 46 (up from 41)
