The Rover tries to give us a glimpse of one man's journey, but its minimalist style drains a lot of needed color from what could have been Oscar glory.

A24 unveils the theatrical poster from THE ROVER , directed by David Michod and starring Guy Pearce & Robert Pattinson . THE ROVER , David Michod's highly anticipated follow-up to ANIMAL KINGDOM, is set in a world 10 years following the collapse of society. The rule of the law has disintegrated and life is cheap. The film follows hardened loner Eric ( Pearce ) as he travels the desolate towns and roads of the outback.

Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that still matters to him. Michod also wrote the film based on a story he conceived with Joel Edgerton.
