Movie Reviews of Tank Girl
Movie Review: Tank Girl....tanks!
Summary: 2 Stars
"Tank Girl" has an interesting premise--what's a girl to do in a world where the water&electricity are owned by a few rich white men,especially a maniacal one like Malcolm McDowell? Like Mad Max, Tank Girl is set in post-apocalyptic Australia. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a loud,brash woman who defies societal convention,with the help of her friend (a bemused Naomi Watts) She also takes time away from battle to romance a mutant kangaroo man. The movie attempts a creative blend of cyberpunk,post-modern sensibilities,feminism,and politics... but doesn't quite work. Cartoons are spliced in,as well as the grunge rock of Courtney Love, and an Iggy Pop cameo.
"Tank Girl" is one confused movie. It's ironic. The Tank Girl comics were considered subversive in the UK because they were accused of "promoting homosexuality" under the Iron Lady rule of Margaret Thatcher. "Tank Girl meetings" were a pseudonym for meetings of young lesbian/bi/questioning women. Instead "Tank Girl" is a fairly mainstream movie with some oddball concepts... that tanks.
Summary of Tank Girl
In this laugh-a-minute futuristic thriller a mega-villian (Malcolm McDowell) controls the world's water supply and it's up to Tank Girl (Lori Petty) and her outrageous cohorts to end his greedy reign.System Requirements:Starring: Lori Petty Ann Cusack Brian Wimmer Iggy Pop Ice-T Naomi Watts Don Harvey Jeff Kober Reg E. Cathey Scott Coffey Malcolm McDowell and Stacy Linn Ramsower. Directed By: Rachel Talalay. Running Time: 103 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2000 MGM Studios.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 027616860354The Year is 2033. Earth has been clobbered with a comet, civilization has been destroyed, and it hasn't rained in 11 years. Nearly all the water on the planet is controlled by the evil Water and Power company, which is in turn controlled by the even more evil Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). Who stands in the way? Some mysterious mutants called the Rippers and, of course, Tank Girl. Lori Petty plays Tank Girl, the wisecracking, defiant heart of the movie, as kind of an inner child gone wild. Unfortunately Petty can't quite carry a movie on her own--her zingers frequently fall flat and she seems to be continually worried that we still like her. Luckily there's Naomi Watts as Jet Girl to save the day: smart, shy, and inherently way more appealing than Tank Girl. Tank Girl is based on the comic of the same name, and it is visually an eye-popper. It's worth watching for the insane set and costume designs alone. --Ali Davis
