The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Rover (2014)

Starring: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scott McNairy, David Field
Director: David Michod

Premise:
A group of robbers steal a man's car and with the help of one of the wounded men left behind, he starts a pursuit to re-obtain is possession.

My Take:
This is a gritty, nihilistic film with throwbacks to a Western. The movie looks amazing with the rugged Australian Outback in nearly every scene. The cast is great too, I was actually with Pattinson's take on his character. A solid film.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
