4 stars (Very Good) Classic B-grade feel, bleak apocalyptic world (courtesy of Australian outback) with some typical bad guys scouring the countryside for violent 'fun', and Mel Gibson doing what he does best: going animal on all of them. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) Melodramatic, a bit camp, riddled with cinematic cliches, very weird. Some kind of perverse genius but I don't know who I'd recommend it to. Not set in "the future", curiously. ~Truant
