The Rover - worst Australian drama film ever

It's not really a drama. It's some kind of future western thriller movie. It feels something like Fistful of Dollars.
It's all about showing a story and revealing the world slowly, leaving the viewer something to wonder every step of the way.
It gets started very fast, and I think if you let it hook you at the beginning that it can carry you straight through to the end. At some point you just get caught up in it and don't even care about all of the questions from earlier, and just as you're ready to resign at the end to a mediocre and sour ending, it answers the viewer's original question, the one you had forgotten, completing the story. It's just finishing the story like a good film should, but it feels like a total bonus.

*beep* Great Aussie film unfortunately lost on simpletons like yourself. If you consider Robert Pattisons performance to be subpar then you truly have no appreciation of acting.

too slow
too violent
too disjointed
poorly acted
lacked colour interest, excitement
Robert Patinson's accent distracting

From an user review, posted yesterday on this board:

"How in the world did Pattinson nail the crazy accent so well? I am from the deep south, and I can't tell you how rarely do actors get any of the accents from this area correct unless they are born here. I suppose the thicker accents are perhaps easier to pull off, but even then I have a cousin with a thick accent nearly identical to the one in the movie... this blew me away. My only gripe would be that here and there the dialog used a word or two that wasn't perfect for the regions familiar to me, but it just was a little off. Anyway, hats off to the man."

I can't say wether the accent was done well or not, but this guy seems to be surprised by how well it's done.
