REVIEW: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a mess of a film that doesn’t know what it wants to be. It can’t decide if it’s a revenge movie, a futuristic crime film, or, oddly enough, a Mad Max movie. What it does know is that it isn’t very interested in its title character, as Furiosa is the least &hellip...
