Review of The Rover (2014) by Andrew S — 20 Jul 2016
Good film if you like the Indie social message movies! The Rover is a too realistic movie! My wife thought The Rover dragged on and was pointless. I believe my wife's thoughts were the intentions of the director.
The Rover is about when society has no social contract and rule of law just and decays into lawlessness. In such an environment the protagonist (Guy Pearce) has to take matters in his own hands get his own car back.
One sees decay, and crumbling, as Pearce aimlessly/ violently wonders the land. The main point of the movie was when Pearce was arrested, and felt relieved that he actually was responsible to someone.
Pearce envied the officer who had a reason to exist. With out giving the movie away the movies ends with a strong social message. The lack of semblance was painfully portrayed with the pointless violence at the end which leaves the viewer empty.
3 stars.
