prawnda s theres a lot here. for one, i think that basically every character guy meets is just about the most obnoxious, difficult person they could possibly be. while this does contribute to the atmosphere, it also seems to contribute unnecessarily to the runtime, with a lot of slow and repetitive conversations that do not usually give the audience any more information than they do the protagonist. its still pretty good but i think some parts could have been much better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Joshua R one of the few genuine blends between action and heartbreak! the movie is hard to watch because of how hard it is at the core but guy Peirce gives one of the best performances of his career as an absolute monster and loyal man of his course, literally a masterpiece if you take the time to take it all in! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Audience Member Decent movie, great characters and postapocaliptic scenery, kinda brutal, Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Dallas H "You must really love that car, Darling." And I really enjoyed the tension and tone of the movie. I got a kick out of watching it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Chris B Bleak, nihilistic, hopeless. It's all been said before, but I would add this is led by two fine actors at the top of their game. The physicality of their damaged gaits I found particularly engaging. It may be too slow moving for some, as features a lot of contemplation. Not an 'action movie' in terms of Mad Max, but certainly a dramatic post apocolyptic thriller which contains well executed action scenes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Terry P I don't watch a movie like "The Rover" for philosophical reasons. I wanted some post-apocalyptic action. The concept was good but OMG, did it drag. From the very beginning where we see Guy Pearce staring into the distance. And staring. And staring. Then he walks. And walks, And walks. It's like this through the whole movie. Stretching out the banal parts way longer than they need to be. I don't need to see a tap dripping for a full minute to understand there is a leaky faucet. Maybe all that staring, walking, and driving was to make you think about something. Lost on me. I ended up hitting 10-second fast forward about 100 times and it wasn't enough. Skip it for sure.
