Synopsis: A man chases down a group of criminals after the fall of the Australian government to retrieve the one thing he still cares about.
The Good: Guy Pearce is an incredible actor but Pattinson upstaged everyone. He owned this film. Absolutely incredible work. I stopped watching the movie just to watch him work. It is art.
The Bad: The storyline plods, punctuated by moments of violence. The plot itself was….basic. It has good moments but it didn’t go far.
Best Line: Not everything has to be about something.’
Fun Fact: Robert Pattinson stated, that after the Twilight series ended he knew he had to play these kind of roles to avoid getting typecast, and that he wanted the role so much, that in the days leading up to the audition, he even dreamt of his character Rey. When he was at David Michôd house for the audition, he couldn’t start to actually play the character for 45 minutes because he had so much anxiety.
Verdict:
Technical: 6.7
Entertainment Value: 6.9
Genre Rating: 6.9
IMDb Score: 6.4
