Does the world really need another Mel Gibson revenge movie? After his daughter is murdered, Mel vows revenge on those responsible. I believe this plot has been filmed about two thousand times before, at least a dozen times by Mel. This was also the plot of the overblown Braveheart, and the original Mad Max film that made him a star to begin with.
Personally, he can't do it any better than in George Miller's exciting The Road Warrior (aka Mad Max 2), which killed three stunt men and required a nursing team of 30 in the crew. That film at least had a dog in a bandana, the Feral Kid, the Lord of the Humungus, Wez, the Toadie, the Gyro Captain, and Warrior Woman, plus psychotic killers in mohawks, buttless chaps, and shoulder pads.
