"The Rover" Review:

"The Rover" is one of those films that remind me of everything I love about movies. I mean hell, I never really crank out a review this fast. But I digress.


The film is about; 10 years after a global economic collapse, a hardened loner (Pearce) pursues the men who stole his only possession, his car. Along the way, he captures one of the thieves' brother (Pattinson), and the duo form an uneasy bond during the dangerous journey.

The director (David Michod) is a master of his craft, providing us a very captivating story with a slow narrative. The visual composition really shock and impressed me a lot, along with the great moody and atmospheric soundtrack.

Guy Pearce plays the lead character extremely well. He deserves to be at least nominated for this performance. But the overall acing is top- notch, with Robert Pattinson giving a decent to good performance, basically doing his best to immerse himself into his character.

While "The Rover" may not be in line for everyone's favorite taste in films, I believe anyone who enjoyed films like "The Road" or "No Country For Old Men" will like this. And as for me, I think if you seen these type of films before and liked them and have seen the trailer (below) even, then I think you should Go See It, as soon as possible.
