AFTERBURN (2025)
When the world turns to ash, power doesn’t disappear—it evolves. Afterburn drops us into a scorched future where relics of the past are more valuable than gold, and every piece of history is something worth fighting—and dying—for. The film thrives on this idea, turning survival into a brutal, morally gray game.
Dave Bautista delivers a grounded, quietly intense performance as Jake, a scavenger shaped by loss and necessity. He’s not a hero—just a man trying to stay alive in a world that rewards ruthlessness. Opposite him, Samuel L. Jackson is electric, commanding every scene with a mix of charm and danger that keeps you on edge. 
The action is heavy and tactile—gunfights feel chaotic, fights hit hard, and the wasteland itself becomes an enemy. There’s a constant sense that danger is everywhere, and no one is safe.
But beneath the dust and violence lies a sharper question: who controls the story when everything else is gone? That idea gives the film weight, making every choice feel consequential.
