Tank Girl Overview
If you're into in-your-face visuals, outrageous action sequences and non-stop explosive laughs, this is your "rip-roaring power surge of a movie" (L.A. Weekly). The year's 2033 and since a humongous meteor hit earth, the world just hasn't been the same. No Movies, No Cable TV, NO WATER!!! A mega-villain, Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), the leader of Water & Power, holds the world in his grasp since he controls all the H2O down to the last drop...or so he thinks. Two colossal enemiesstand in his way: (1) The Rippers - an army of half-men/half-kangaroo people whose sole purpose is to bring down the W & P, and (2) a chick with a tank and tons of attitude - a.k.a. Tank Girl (Lori Petty). Kesslee had better get a grip on reality and his water jugs because not even a run in her stocking is going to stop her from saving the planet.
Tank Half Full - David Baldwin - Philadelphia,PA USA
This film has alot to recommend but also contains deficiencies. Lori Petty is kinetically bubbly as the title character and her energy carries throughout the entire film. Malcolm McDowell taps into his Alex DeLarge malevolence and creates a memorably villainous head of a Water and Power consortium. Naomi Watts, a brunette no less, impresses even though she's essentially riding shotgun to Petty. And those Kangaroo Men are way cool! The downside here is that the film seems to be more artifice than art. The art direction is way too busy. The grunge rock soundtrack is headache inducing. The jumping back and forth between live action, animation, and comic strips is equally jarring. "Tank Girl" is an interesting film without being wholly successful.
