unforgetable movie, 5 May 2002
10/10
Author: iwao from le mans, france

that film is the best futuristic-madmax-style film i have ever seen. actors are amazing, rutger hauer is wonderful, the music is great.there are a lot of scenes that we cannot forget, great sentences.......... i really don't understand why it's so bad-known and so under-rated.... besides that's one of the very rare "feel good movies". we really are happy in some scenes. every movie lover must see it
