  Vehicle porn.
  
  A younger, better-looking, leather clad Mel Gibson pouts his way through this revenge film with a firm emphasis on impressive vehicle stunts. The over the top ... read more »

  Mad Max - but dubbed with US accents
  
  Very disappointed to find this is the awful US accent overdubbed version of Mad Max. Love the original, but the voice acting is so poor on this one that it ... read more »

  This is one of Mel Gibsons earlier roles which is probably why he can appear slightly wooden at times. It was slightly predicatable in parts and I can only ... read more »
