The Rover (2014)

An Australian adventure directed by David Michod, starring Guy Pearce and Scoot McNairy.
A man's car is stolen by 3 men. He finds the brother of one of them, who leads him to them and his car.
Pointless! The slow pacing made this seem to take forever to tell no story. The characters were all rough guys, even the woman doctor was tough. There was a definite lack of dialogue and what was said was lost between modern audio practices and thick Aussie accents. Australia has a whole outback full of desert and dirty clothes are easy, so that covers sets and costumes. If I have anything good to say about this it's the camera-work. Everything looks like it was shot professionally. In audio, I already covered dialogue. Loud music and sound effects almost go without saying. This won 10 of 31 awards it was nominated for. 9/10 of those were for best sound! IMDb rates it 6.4/10, metacritic has a METASCORE of 64% and Rotten Tomatoes rates it 66% TOMATOMETER and 51% AUDIENCE SCORE (I shit you not, those are the letter cases from their websites) for an average of 61.25%. I agree completely and give it an F too for Fucking pointless award-winning trash. I rate this bad. DO NOT WATCH!!!
