Funny sequel. 

7/10
6/10 One of the more fun spoof movies, but still not my cup of tea.

The Rover (2014, David Michôd)

There's not a whole lot to the story, but it's well made, has a good score, some very good moments throughout, and Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson both put in some strong work.

7/10
