The phenomenal Guy Pearce stars in this post-apocalyptic thriller inspired by the Western genre. In a world when one one’s weapons and earthly possessions have sentimental value, Eric’s vehicle is stolen and he embarks on a relentless pursuit to get it back. An encounter with one of the robbers, injured and left behind by the group, changes everything. Rising director David Michod (“Animal Kingdom”) serves up something of an Australian version of the Cohen Brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” or rather a poetic and full of cinematic and emotional impact version of “Mad Max”. The film boasts an unnerving score and breathtaking footage of arid deserts, turning its characters into unfortunate individuals unwillingly surviving at any cost.
