Cage delivers a good performance in this initially entertaining sci-fi suspense and the supporting cast is equally good, however the bizarre twist near the end leaves you wondering why you watched it in the first place.
Archive for the “near-future” CategoryCompelling, intriguing and more than worth the effort, Twelve Monkey’s really defies genre selection and really has to be experienced. Beyond Thunderdome is the weakest of the three Max movies but is still worth watching, too many cute moments and forced situations decrease the impact of the otherwise engaging story. Another excellent outing for Mad Max this time showing us the complete breakdown of order and the power of oil; with an increase in the comic element providing some light relief, Mad Max 2 is easier viewing than the first movie but no less entertaining. Mad Max holds up despite being 30 years old, presenting a gripping and gritty view of the near future and spawning a generation of look-alike films. A solid and thoroughly watchable action movie with the smallest of surprises and the greatest of loud engine revving noises. |
