Critically acclaimed at the Festival de Cannes, The Rover rakes place in the Australian Outback 10 years after "the collapse," which is presumed to be a global economic collapse or perhaps just the collapse of society. Whatever it may have been, it has laid waste to Australia, where Guy Pearce's(Memento, L.A. Confidential) car is stolen. The entirety of the film is Pearce attempting to get his car back. Eventually he runs into Robert Pattinson(Twilight). Filled with haunting cinematography and even more horrifying realities of life and human nature, Director David Michod constructs a world that the audience will buy into. Of course along with the beautiful yet petrifying cinematography and camera work is a consistent score. Filled with violence, intrigue, suspense, tension, and meanings, The Rover pulls you in until the very last credit rolls.
8.5/10
