In Tank Girl, director Rachel Talalay's aggressively hip adaptation of the cult comic book, it is 2033 and the earth has been clobbered by 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? Mysterious mutants called the Rippers and, of course, Tank Girl. Lori Petty plays the eponymous, 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. For all it lacks, Tank Girl is visually an eye-popper, worth watching for the insane set and costume designs alone. --Ali Davis, Amazon.com [show more]

It is 2033 and there is no law, mercy or (most importantly) water. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a sexy, smart and outspoken warrior woman who decides to take on allcomers in an attempt to liberate enough water for the population. The villainous Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) decides destroying Tank Girl is the easiest way to retain the monopoly on precious water supplies, but he hasn't reckoned on Tank Girl's loyal sidekick Jet Girl (Naomi Watts), or a troupe of mutant kangaroos...
