I hadn't actually planned to watch this but accidentally got mixed up in the world premiere by mistake. So it goes.
The movie follows an unlikely post-apocalyptic hero, not a dashing Mel Gibson, or a long-legged Nikita, but a normal looking girl called Molly, who nevertheless proves endlessly resourceful and unexpectedly gifted in surviving the 'wasteland', which I guess is probably the old WWII German bunker ridden Dutch coastline. This is immediately the best part of the film, our bumbling heroine who stubbornly refuses to die, and carries the movie almost singlehandedly.
There are some other actors who make a good contribution, the black chap and the robot-arm girl especially, but for the rest its not high quality. We're talking C-movie level here so this is to be expected. The few special effects were unexpectedly good. What I especially loved about Molly were the realistic (and thus very messy) fights.
We're not about to win Oscars here but given what the makers had to work with I am quite impressed. I am wondering how Brits and Americans will copy with Dutch-accented English. I have no idea what they will make of it.
If you like Mad Max movies or Turbo Kid you will enjoy this.
