REVIEW - Mad Max Fury Road

This might have cost $150m to make, and Tom Hardy may have more acting skills in his little finger than does Mel Gibson, and Charlize Theron may look hot in a mechanic's outfit, but there's only so much car chase I can take in one film.

The film's - indeed the series of films' - underlying story: that oil is in such short supply that rival gangs need to barrel up and down the desert in souped up gas guzzlers is all a bit pointless.

Yes, the visuals are dramatic. And yes, the action is mostly non-stop. But for heaven's sake let's have a plot.
