and conceived with an uninhibited sense of fun. Any random sequence from this movie is easily a contender for the best action scene in the last five years. But what's with the casting of Max? Don't get me wrong, Tom Hardy's a great actor, but this role does not call for a great actor. It calls for an old, weathered Australian.

Like the previous two entries, preposterous, but clearly fun for the director. This is where Charlize Theron got her start as an action star. I guess I'm too bored to keep watching, though, so it can't be that good. Watch "Atomic Blonde" instead; Theron did this movie as a kind of warmup, I guess.
