Rating: 2/5 -- [A] dour, inert vision of the future - a disappointing follow-up to Michod's cracking 2010 debut, Animal Kingdom. Full Review

Of Mice and Men at the end of the world -- that's the general turf of The Rover. Full Review

... the film still manages to maintain a fierce tension despite the flaws in its fractured plot and characterisation. Full Review

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

[David] Michôd propels The Rover at a deliberate pace, relishing the scenery of the outback, and the eccentrics that live there. Full Review

Rating: C- -- Bleak, brutal, and ultimately pointless, the film stars Guy Pearce as a man whose car is stolen and who won't rest until he not only gets it back but also punishes, with extreme prejudice, the dirtbags who took it. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Tonally intriguing, Michôd's latest poses numerous questions but withholds almost all of the answers. Full Review

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.
