Its a really drawn out saga/road trip deal. Kind of a Mad Max vibe, but really all your doing is sitting there and waiting for the big payoff at the end. And it really isn't much. It just kinda makes you say "Ohhhh. So that's what that was all about."

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

The world is reeling from an economic mealy down. Society hangs on precariously in a state of lawlessness. Following a botched bank robbery a man's car is stollen. This is his story of getting his car back.The main character is hardened, non communicative and solely dedicated to the task of getting his car back. What follows is a violent road movie with one of the most unlikable, grumpiest heroes of all time. Despite being a total douche I did start to warm to the character. This is a clear indication of how well made the movie is. Guy Pierce is great, which is just as well as he is tasked with shouldering most of the load.The world is grubby, squalid and dangerous. Yet it has an element of realism about it. The police desperately try to keep order in a world where most people have all but given up.An enjoyable watch with a beautifully bitter ending.

This is my first review on IMDb. I have over a 1000 ratings on Movies alone and never felt compelled to review any of them. Until Now.This movie really got under your skin and made me wonder about humanity and ethics.The Rover creates a dense and immersive atmosphere almost post apocalyptic in the Australian Outback. When the actors pull the trigger, it felt very real like it had happened on the same room as I was in.The soundtrack used in the movie is commendable. Kudos to the very well placed use of 'Pretty Girl Rock' and the small humour with Robert Pattinson. Both Guy Pearce as lead actor and Robert Pattinson as support actor made astonishing performances, specially the latter. I honestly believe his performance would be worth an Oscar.
