We Do need another hero.
But it's not an angry chap called Max. Instead, Charlize Theron's honourable heroine Furiosa dominates a bonkers and brilliant action movie that's relentlessly thrilling and full of surprises.
It's been three decades since Mel Gibson's policeman turned vigilante Max Rockatansky left the Thunderdome in the franchise's third instalment. The sands of time and pixels of TMZ have removed the leading star from the equation, but the infectious attitude and wild nature of this new incarnation are still the same thanks to co-creator, writer and director George Miller remaining at the helm.
