Review of The Rover (2014) by Tyler H — 25 Jun 2014
This is the kind of cinema that keeps my passion for the medium pumping full speed. It's the kind that grips its dismal claws into your back and doesn't stop clenching on until it knows it has completely scarred you.
Despite using a few familiar (yet forgivable) tropes of the post-apocalyptic variety, David Michod's "The Rover" still finds its way to mix equal parts originality and intensity and creates a whirlwind of slow-burn terror, dread, and violence in its wake.
It shows us a world perhaps not too far away from our own future and is punctuated by a simple plot about a man who will stop at nothing to fulfill his moral duty in a world where most, if not all, morals have crumbled completely.
Simply put, this is a perfect film.
