Tank Girl Reviews

97. Tank Girl

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 2 August 2022 09:10

First Appearance: Deadline #1
Best Writer & Artist: Jamie Hewlett






Long before visualizing the cartoon anarchists of Gorillaz with Damon Albarn, British artist Jamie Hewlett devised the perfect grrrl power counterculture icon in Tank Girl. A blinding reflection of the punk groundswell that greeted former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s ultra-conservative legislation, Tank Girl occupied a series of underground comic strips before writers like Peter Milligan cast her in long-form comics and graphic novels. A gorgeous, gratuitous veneer of post-apocalyptic guns ’n ammo excess, Tank Girl evolved the gritty 2001 AD formula with a needed dose of estrogen. — Sean Edgar & Caitlin McGurk

An average movie

Posted : 10 years, 2 months ago on 17 March 2014 11:01

I always had a weak spot for Ashley Judd and there was a time that she was not only on the A list but she was also the unofficial Queen of the thrillers for a couple of years. It actually all started with this flick which would be incidentally the first movie starring Dr. Alex Cross. My wife always had a weak spot for thrillers involving serial killers (someone, she believes that those are actually quite realistic but that’s another discussion altogether). Personally, I’m always rather skeptical towards this genre but, I have to admit it, this movie is one of the better flicks in this genre. First of all, you have the always dependable Morgan Freeman who was still pretty much surfing on his new found fame following ‘Seven’ and he kept playing the role of the seasoned and wise police officer for many years afterwards. Still, he did a good job here, Ashley Judd was not bad either and the concept of having one of the vicrims managing to escape was pretty cool. Unfortunately, even though it was indeed a decent thriller, the whole thing was still rather preposterous but I'm afraid it's inherent to this genre. Anyway, to conclude, even though it wasn’t really amazing, it remains entertaining and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
