Viewing Notes

First time viewing on the big screen, shocking as that may be. Figured this one would’ve gotten a few rep screenings in Chicago but it didn’t (or I missed them). Nice to finally check that box.

Such an odd film that has a greater reputation than what the film delivers. Outside of a couple of sequences it’s not that high octane road thriller like its sequel. For what it does do is cool in being this low key crime revenge thriller in rural Australia. Max just wants a quiet life with his wife and kid but these goons won’t let him.
