The world economy has collapsed, only the most hardened people survive. That is the setting in which actor Guy Pearce plays an australian farmer whose car gets stolen by fugitive criminals. "The Rover" depicts the riveting pursuit to reclaim the stolen car."The Rover" is as bleak,dark and lost as I have ever seen it. But it can be worth it for those who are into this sort of movies portraying the bleak and gruesome suffering of poor people. No hope for anyone of a better future, only survival is what counts in this apocalyptic wasteland in "The Rover". Acting skills are beyond superb in this picture. Guy Pearce as well as Robert Pattinson play the roles of their lives. Almost unrecognizable, they both play intrigueging characters who are wasted and doomed. The soundtrack is as eery, rough and cold as the characters themselves. This movie drains out every inch of believe in humanity. The only thing the few remaining people in this wasteland do is trying to survive, by treating there fellow humans as threats, which can be shot dead in a second.Despite all this bleakness I still do recommend and appreciate this picture. Yes, the suffering is boring and pointless. Yes, the characters are depressed and mentally deranged. Yes, it is violent and heinous. And yes, I still do recommend it very much. Seen it 3 times now and it is here to stay. I must confess the first time I saw it, I just felt an aching hollow as if I had been gutted like a butchered deer. During the second and third time I watched it, this movie became more than just watching depressing violence and poverty. Therefore I think "The Rover" has great value and will be watched by me more often than the previously 3 times. Still I will only watch it when I am depressed. Not a joke, it is truly the only mindset with which I can stumach this much bleakness and cruelty as depicted in "The Rover". Still I will reward it with 8 stars.

10 years after a global economic collapse, a hardened loner pursues the men who stole his only possession, his car. Along the way, he captures one of the thieves' brother, and the duo form an uneasy bond during the dangerous journey. The Rover was kinda of an anticipating film for me but i was kinda disappointed with the whole movie for example Guy Pearce goes after this 3 people because they stole his car? Every Chinese guy is gay and the ending was disappointing this is a film that packs 2 great performances by Pearce and Robert Pattinson unfortunately the plot, the villains and the whole story around this 2 characters was pretty dumb and that's why i'm going to give the Rover a rating of 6.5/10.

The Rover is a film that I stopped watching often, always left programmed on TV when spent more time or I give up or simply lose the will to watch, oh when I finally decide to attend, I fall asleep, there finally I I watched, I saw it was going to go on TV and lacked only 10 minutes to start, there placed, and when realized, I was really interested without watching the film, and know the end, and the end was a bit disappointing, it in my opinion, the more the film is very good, the picture shows an apocalyptic Australia, very reminiscent of the film Mad Max (George Miller), the action scenes are good, the film is very violent, the direction is David Michôd that I do not know, I liked his work, even the film has a rhythm problem, and see the film or long is, I found some unnecessary dialogues, the character of Robert Pattinson is very annoying, even though I liked the actor's acting, I found her very talkative character, the cast is good, Guy Pearce this excellent, Robert Pattinson, this very well, I hope she does forget that Edward Cullen, Scoot McNairy, etc., all are well, the Rover is a very good movie , surprises me a lot, but has the slow pace, and some very unnecessary dialogues, even Robert Pattinson in a good performance, your character is very annoying. Note 8.1
