Out of the countless action movies produced in the 1980s, there only a few genuine works of art; [this film] might very well be the best of that extremely rarefied company.

The sets, costumes, makeup, special effects and stunts are all first-rate, as is Gibson's performance.

For pure rhythm and visual panache, Miller has few real competitors; the climactic chase, with its deft variation of tempo and point of view, is a minor masterpiece.

A straightforward action/adventure film, filled to the brim with over-the-top chases and stunts.

Miller's choreography of his innumerable vehicles is so extraordinary that it makes Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark look like a kid fooling with Dinky Toys.

Miller doesn't take his foot off the accelerator for a second, and the ingeniously designed and staged road action is stunning.

Gibson is suprisingly uncharismatic, but Miller makes up for it with whizz bang action.
