Reeling on Pearce and Pattinson in "The Rover"

It has been 10 years since the world economy collapsed and a lone drifter is crossing the arid lands of Australia on a mission. On his way, his car is stolen by three thugs fleeing a shootout and he takes chase. He meets up with the wounded brother of one of the men he pursues and the two team together in “The Rover.”

The premise for “The Rover” is simple: the man, for reasons unknown, must get his car back and he will stop at nothing to do so. Guy Pearce gives gravitas to his role of a man of few words and intense resolve. You feel, through the man’s look and body language, that he has suffered great loss in his life and, because of this, has no fear. As he takes to the road to find his car and the bad guys who took it, he comes upon wounded Rey (Robert Pattinson) who promises to be his guide in his quest. Pattinson, sporting a deep southern drawl, really inhabits his character and garners sympathy as a man left behind by his brother, Henry (Scoot McNairy).
