Review of The Rover (2014) by Michael S — 19 Jun 2014
This film was incredible ... in a sea of superheroes , kids' animation films, and films full of CGI.... this film was a character study ! Rob Pattinson and Guy Pearce were both totally unrecognizable in their parts.
They inhabited the mean loner and slow bullied , Southern American kid to a tee. It is their interaction that IS the film . The Rover is dark, violent, but uncompromising. David Michod;s second film after Animal Kingdom is fresh, bleak, and though-provoking.
Let it wash over you to sink in . The film is a little MadMax, Apocalyse Now, and Of Mice and Men.
