Review
It's been a while since I've reviewed something with Mel Gibson in it (#356 - Lethal Weapon 2), and its also been a while since I've reviewed a film from Australia, which I barely noticed (#023 - Crocodile Dundee, #024 - Crocodile Dundee 2, #032 - The Man From Snowy River) until now. How is this film? Pretty good. Its brutal nature and dystopian outlook work well for the film is because the film uses its sets well. Gibson does a fine job in a film that was in the beginning of his career. The rest of the (let me be honest) unknown cast do an alright job, contributing to the bleak outlook of the film. Its car chases are destructive but effective.
Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
