Set in the Australian outback after some post apocalyptic event. This is a very small story, a very violent story with outstanding performances by Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson. We are along for the ride as Eric (Pearce) is pursuing three criminals who stole his old car. He captured the young brother of one of them (that would be Rey played by Pattinson) and is using him to figure out where they will be next. As I mentioned it is a rough unflinchingly violent movie, but it has at it’s core a mystery as well. It also develops the relationship between the homicidal Eric and the simple Rey. Why on earth does Eric care so much about getting his shitty car back, killing anyone who stands in his way and caring for no one not even himself? Why? When we figure out the answer the film really reframes what we have been watching including Eric.
