Entertainment Reviews:
In the sweat-soaked Rover, everybody appears to have cut their own hair with a pair of rusty scissors, but the look is more The Proposition than Mad Max.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 4 --
THE ROVER is a throwback to classic Westerns, with a nearly anonymous figure on a bloody, single-minded mission for revenge. You may scoff at the simplicity of the finale, but I'm betting you'll find yourself thinking about it long afterward.

Screen Relish
Michôd still has it ... but his sophomore effort warrants more intriguing content within its solid set-up.

If only the director had had the confidence to tell him to do 50% less, this would have been an excellent performance. Pattinson is well cast as a confused redneck.

Rating: 4/5 --
Brutal as it is, The Rover evolves into a strange kind of buddy movie. Squint and you might be watching a nihilistic Rain Man.

The deadpan irony of the final sequence feels like the punch line of a mournful but very thin joke.

[A] dour, inert vision of the future - a disappointing follow-up to Michod's cracking 2010 debut, Animal Kingdom.

Product Description:
Anthony Quinn stars in this adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel as Peyrol, a former pirate wanted by the police in every port in Europe who gave up his life of crime to become part of the counterrevolutionary force during the French Revolution. While carrying a message for the Port Commander one night, Peyrol is apprehended by the police and nearly caught. During his escape, he saves a young woman named Arlette from a mob of revolutionaries and ends up taking a room in her house along with her Aunt Catharine (Rita Hayworth) and a French naval officer named Real. Soon, Real has figured out who Peyrol is, forcing Peyrol to choose between his growing affection for Arlette and his duties with the counterrevolutionaries.
