Review of The Rover (2014) by Jonathan B — 25 Jan 2016
**Just a mesmerising and brutal the second time around, Blu-Ray transfer is lovely too**.
A brooding, intense and often violent drama. Based on a simple premise, Guy Pearce's car gets nicked by a gang of crooks and he goes after them, all set against a post apocalyptic (or post collapse) back drop. Very well acted by Pearce and Pattinson, It occasionally slips into genre territory, before taking a turn in the opposite direction. A polar opposite to the dense and multilayered crime drama of Michod's debut 'Animal Kingdom', The Rover confirms that Michod is a strong talent.
