It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Perhaps the most stupid film ever made. Absolutely without any redeeming qualities.

The Rover.Dark, mysterious and sad. Something the Aussies can do without exception. Guy Pierce is superb as are all the cast and that wonderful Aussie outback as the never ending backdrop. Stick with it as its what I believe is called a slow burner. Why does he want the car so much, see if you can work it out. I did the next day! Defenetly worth a look.

Oh boy!! I just finished seeing this, and I am blown away. This is a fantastic movie and I loved everything about it. I must admit I am surprised, that the total rating is at only 6,4 for the time being. The performances are incredible!! I expected a solid performance from Pearce (which he delivered) and happily surprised that also Pattison delivered a stunning and engaging performance. This movie comes highly recommended.
