Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- Futility has rarely been so expertly portrayed…
Total Film
[I]t's long on menace, often violent and consistently fascinating.
Wall Street Journal
Rating: C- --
Bleak, brutal, and ultimately pointless, the film stars Guy Pearce as a man whose car is stolen and who won't rest until he not only gets it back but also punishes, with extreme prejudice, the dirtbags who took it.

Entertainment Weekly
... the film still manages to maintain a fierce tension despite the flaws in its fractured plot and characterisation.

[THE ROVER] possesses moments of astonishing assurance and austere beauty.
Washington Post
Rating: 3/5 --
Tonally intriguing, Michôd's latest poses numerous questions but withholds almost all of the answers.

Of Mice and Men at the end of the world -- that's the general turf of The Rover.

Product Description:
Guy Pearce stars in this post-apocalyptic Western about a lone-wolf drifter who joins forces with a wounded man to pursue a sadistic band of thieves. A decade after the collapse of the western world, Australia has become a lawless wasteland. As desperate outsiders pillage the country's precious mineral resources, taciturn Eric (Pearce) travels from town to town searching for signs of life. Then, one day, Eric falls prey to vicious thieves who steal his car. In the process of making their getaway, the thieves abandon Rey (Robert Pattinson), their wounded partner in crime. Meanwhile, Eric vows to reclaim his most-treasured possession by whatever means necessary, and forces Rey to help him track down the men who left him for dead. Scoot McNairy and David Field co-star in this grim tale of revenge from writer/director David Michôd (whose script for the 2010 crime drama ANIMAL KINGDOM took the Best Screenplay prize at that year's Australian Film Institute awards).
