All the money in on the screen. It is to be a rare 10 out of 10( i can get swept away with it easily) and I am so glad they did not dredge up Mel to play the lead, totally fine with a new Max, and Tom nails the part with minimal dialogue. Sure it's an action film, then it's a social commentary, and it's a character driven thrill ride that's addictive. Each time i have seen it i pick up a word or two I did not notice before, adding to the plot line, reinforcing what comes next. Each time I see it there is another level of action showing up, fantastic stunts and motor vehicles. Yeah, it's great entertainment and immediate pleasure if you are into that sort of thing, no filler, just 100% action protein.
