Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Rover is so intentionally vague and shapeless, it doesn't leave much of an imprint other than Pattinson's odd, melancholy performance.

Like many a late 21st century Western -- regardless of the land of its origins -- The Rover asks what happens on the downslope of Manifest Destiny? As hot, parched and heated as the atmosphere is, the answers are chilling.

fresh:
Director David Michod's follow-up to his acclaimed debut, Animal Kingdom, is effective in an elemental way.

rotten:
The deadpan irony of the final sequence feels like the punch line of a mournful but very thin joke.

rotten:
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.
