Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- [A]n impressively solid piece of genre filmmaking with great cinematography and score.
Empire
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.

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

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

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.

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.

Product Description:
Guy Pearce stars in this post-apocalyptic Western about a lone-wolf drifter who joins forces with a wounded man to pursue a sadistic band of thieves. A decade after the collapse of the western world, Australia has become a lawless wasteland. As desperate outsiders pillage the country's precious mineral resources, taciturn Eric (Pearce) travels from town to town searching for signs of life. Then, one day, Eric falls prey to vicious thieves who steal his car. In the process of making their getaway, the thieves abandon Rey (Robert Pattinson), their wounded partner in crime. Meanwhile, Eric vows to reclaim his most-treasured possession by whatever means necessary, and forces Rey to help him track down the men who left him for dead. Scoot McNairy and David Field co-star in this grim tale of revenge from writer/director David Michôd (whose script for the 2010 crime drama ANIMAL KINGDOM took the Best Screenplay prize at that year's Australian Film Institute awards).
