REVIEW:
A better name for this movie would most likely be "Where's My Caah?" mainly due to the fact that that's practically the only thing Guy Pearce says in his Australian accent for the first 40 minutes of "The Rover." This dystopian crime thriller takes place 10 years after the apocalypse, and it takes place in a dry, fly-invested Australia that Guy Pearce's character resides in. Everything's all fine and dandy for this silent man until a group of men happen to steal his car, forcing him to team up with one of the men's brothers in order to get it back and take revenge. This film comes to us from director David Michôd, whose previous film "Animal Kingdom" earned Jackie Weaver an Oscar nomination. While I had problems with this film and found it incredibly easy to make fun of it with the buddy of mine who accompanied me to see it, I still was captivated by "The Rover." The film's quiet and brooding atmosphere, along with the accompaniment of Natasha Braier's incredible cinematography and great performances from Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson help to make this movie well worth seeing.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
