"Mad Max Renegade" is obviously, as the title implies, loosely based on the "Mad Max" trilogy and gained some popularity recently with the hype around the new "Mad Max" movie, even if this short film was already made almost 5 years ago. It is an American 9-minute fan film written and directed by Paul Miller. I have to say the only thing I quite liked was lead actor Liam Fountain. It seems he had the looks and the grit for the character. Unfortunately, in terms of the story, the action and also the emotion (which always has been an interesting aspect to the franchise), this film falls flat. Sure it's not easy to pack all this convincingly into such a short time, but I certainly hoped for a better outcome than the one they actually delivered. It had a bit of everything in these 3 areas, but I'd have preferred one of these 3 aspects to be great and the other 2 non-existent. All in all, not recommended. I may be a bit biased though as I am not the biggest fan of the films either.
