The Rover
Ten years after a severe economic collapse in the western world, lawlessness reigns and life is cheap. Eric is a lone drifter, and his car is his only possession. When a gang steals it, Eric comes across the injured Rey, left behind by the car thieves. The pair form an unlikely and uneasy alliance. From TMDB

60 of 102 · most liked firstI was channel-surfing last night as I couldn't sleep and settled on a movie that I hadn't seen called The Rover. Very violent and not my usual fare - but it got me in because I recognised some locations (Hammond, southern Flinders, etc). Despite the violence, I actually thought it was very good.
unlabelledView post →More and more I feel like David Michod's film THE ROVER was a good look at where we're heading. Outside of being an amazing film that should have earned Pearce and Pattinson oscars it imagined a world post climate and financial collapse. Not Mad Max extreme aesthetics but a real near future
unlabelledView post →Finally! Someone who understands how Guy Pearce should have won EVERYTHING for The Rover. #filmsky 🎬
unlabelledView post →The Rover is on the Plex 24/7 livestream channel today. Clearly I am a glutton for punishment #filmsky. 😁 If you didn't think RPattz could act or need to see another exceptional performance from Guy Pearce that you missed, here's your chance! 🎬
unlabelledView post →Well, The Rover is a brilliant film. Guy Pearce is (as always) fantastic and Robert Pattinson showed the world just what he could do. #Films
unlabelledView post →THE ROVER has been popping up in my thoughts lately. A great, dark post-apocalyptic movie with excellent performances from R. Pattinson and Guy Pierce. Time to slot in a rewatch. . . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChM2...
unlabelledView post →If we're doing Guy Pearce appreciation, here's to 2014's oddball post-apocalyptic Down Under road movie THE ROVER, which also features what's probably my favorite of Robert Pattinson's breakout "let's get weird with it" performances. In a word, I like it a lot.

unlabelledView post →Bemused by YouTube comments mansplaining that my postulating that Guy Pearce should've already had multiple awards & noms is preposterous. Watch L.A. Confidential, Memento, The Proposition, The Rover, Brimstone! 🤨🤦🏻♀️🤣 Read more @insessionfilm.bsky.social: insessionfilm.com/10-times-guy... #movies🎬

unlabelledView post →The back to back hit of Cosmopolis and The Rover (a film that got slept on and shpuld have gotten Pearce the awards he got nominated for for The Brutalist) made me a Pattinson fan.
unlabelledView post →A reminder that Guy Pearce should have won Best Actor for THE ROVER. He and that movie were robbed.
unlabelledView post →Robert Pattinson is having his best year ever, but will THE ACADEMY recognize him? At 40, he’s yet to be recognized despite acclaimed turns in GOOD TIME, THE LIGHTHOUSE and THE ROVER. This year, Pattinson has stacked the deck. Read variety.com/2026/film/aw...
unlabelledView post →"The performances in this movie though are fucking stellar. This is possibly the best that I’ve ever seen Guy Pearce. " More people need to see The Rover #filmsky 🎬

unlabelledView post →Along with ‘Good Time’, his performances in ‘The Rover’ and ‘Damsel’ made me a fan. I can probably say I’ve never seen a ‘Twilight’ movie.

unlabelledView post →One time a film critic told me they had never heard of The Proposition. 🤔 I told him then he had no business being a film critic. 😁 Highly recommend everyone check out The Proposition, The Road & The Rover ahead of seeing Guy Pearce in The Dog Stars. 🎬

unlabelledView post →Can not recommend enough the Guy Pearce/Robert Pattison dystopian wonderland, The Rover (2014). It's a colorwashed dip into a bleak future, and it's just a great film in general.
unlabelledView post →Wrote about The Rover, Dating the Enemy & a bunch more somewhere. I'm not sure where anymore! 🤣 All my Guy Pearce reviews are here: ithinkthereforeireview.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-... 🎬
unlabelledView post →Anyone else seen this movie The Rover, with Guy Pearce? I'm only 25 minutes in and so far it's fuckin brilliant
unlabelledView post →Never watched Twilight and don’t plan to, so I don’t see Robert Pattinson that way. Gotta hand it to him though—his film choices are solid: The Rover, Lost City of Z, Good Time, High Life, The Lighthouse. I'm really looking forward to Mickey 17.
unlabelledView post →The Rover (2014) a bleak film about loyalty in the face of hopelessness, Guy Pearce embarks on a stubborn quest to get his car back from Robert Pattinson's brother
unlabelledView post →We don’t talk enough about The Rover. The movie where Guy Pearce taught Robert Pattinson to act.
unlabelledView post →...commercials. They'd often get locals to be extras and doubles. Where I lived they filmed some of Rabbit Proof Fence, Stealth (2005), The Rover (2014) & Mortal Kombat (2021). Then an hour or two down the road they shot some bits of Wolf Creek. Pretty cool to see the way a big film crew works.
unlabelledView post →Today at The Dogs Stars premiere, Guy Pearce telling you to watch The Rover BEFORE you see The Dog Stars. IYKYK #filmsky 🖤🎬😁
unlabelledView post →Brilliant film. The Rover is one of my favourite films of the past two decades. Neo-western, sure, but a western nonetheless.
unlabelledView post →Michôd’s “The Rover” is my favourite Australian film of the 2010s, easily.

unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Rules of Engagement. Not exactly the best movie viewing right now but I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to Guy Pearce. Will probably watch The Rover next! 🤣 Two Brothers, Rules of Engagement, Count of Monte Cristo & More Supporting Grace from the Guy Pearce Re-Watch #filmsky 🎬
unlabelledView post →The Rover 2300 was promoted with a bizarre film which featured actor Anton Rodgers stalking a model around the south of France. More on that, a second-hand SD1, a luxury Toyota Alphard, and other automotive nonsense on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/39c1fb
unlabelledView post →FLASHBACK: On a day like today exactly thirteen years ago, January 25th 2013, while Robert Pattinson was filming the David Michod movie THE ROVER in the Australian Outback, he found some time to attend the BIG DAY OUT, an annual music festival, in Adelaide, where he was photographed with fans.
unlabelledView post →To take your mind off how utterly miserable everything is, I heartily recommend you read Sleepwalk, by Dan Chaon. It’s a semi-dystopian hippy road trip/asymmetric killer criminal story that reads like an indie cult classic film. Big Lebowski meets The Rover kind of deal. I adored it.
unlabelledView post →I probably forgot a ton of movies I'd put up there. Debated on a few, including The Constant Gardener and The Rover. Upstream Color too (horrible creator, but goddamn a fantastic, mindblowing film). Cabin in the Woods was an almost. And despite my cliches, I did not say Under the Silver Lake.
unlabelledView post →I love Ravenous, it's such a delightfully demented film and Robert Carlyle is the best in it. Also, adding to Guy Pearce Beards, we've got an extra-scruffy Guy Pearce in The Rover.
unlabelledView post →The Rover is 100% an in-universe Mad Max movie.
unlabelledView post →Dibs on Dust Devils from Mars for my rockabilly throwback band. Also, The Observation of Dust Devils on Mars by the Rover Perseverance as the title of my short film about a small pizzeria that had to shut down during the Pandemic.

unlabelledView post →Adore The Rover! Best Actor winner in my opinion! This is what I mean when people wonder where he's been since Memento. He's been doing more great performances! Spoke of it early on the Women InSession Podcast with Zita Short! Listen @insessionfilm.bsky.social: insessionfilm.com/movie-podcas...

unlabelledView post →I can even be fair during the #PearceofMind Guy Pearce Birthday Blitz! Here's my bemusingly bad review of Disturbing the Peace #filmsky 🤣🎬 Not one of the great Guy Pearce westerns like Ravenous, The Proposition, or The Rover: ithinkthereforeireview.blogspot.com/2021/03/dist...
unlabelledView post →I love a guy but have never watched a Jack Irish. Should I rectify this? FWIW my fav Guy film is The Rover.
unlabelledView post →When it's a Guy Pearce vehicle, I do expect and am usually blown away. When he pops up in a Pretty People Imax vehicle, not so much. 🤣 That's why I say the difference between this and The Rover, I don't know how people slept on that movie.
unlabelledView post →This is the second Pattinson post I’ve seen this morning — what’s going on? 🤔😏 That said — he was in “The Rover” with Guy Pearce and it was a good movie. 👍👍
unlabelledView post →Never watched the Twilight movies, so the first film i saw Robert Pattinson in was The Rover, which meant that I've *only* known him as an incredibly gifted actor.
