Review of The Rover (2014) by Jane G — 21 Jun 2014
Wow! I loved it! The story of two men with nothing else to loose , who form a tenuous relationship that I believe leaves a lasting impression on Eric. A story with a lot of nuances! Sparce on dialogue, but it is truly not needed the scenery and the facial expressions do the talking. You have to use your brain while watching it and it will stay with you and keep you thinking about it, even in your sleep. More than viewing will be needed. There are lighter moments, especially in Rey's story telling. Rey is not as half witted as everyone thinks he his. The dinner scene proves that and the break out scene solidifies it. He just processes things a little slower than those around him. He also has way of working himself into your heart and I think Eric would attest to.
Robert Pattinson was excellent and shows the industry and critics what his fans have known all this time, He has a true talent for his chosen profession. If you do not follow Mr. Pattinson's career you would not recognize him! He absolutely disappears into the role. His accent never wavered. Guy truly looks like a crazy bad ass son of bitch! He scared me! Definitely worth the watch! I give it 5 stars not only for the story but for the performance of both Robert Pattinson and Guy Pierce.
