What to Know

Critics Consensus

In attempting to meld his successful previous formulas with philosophical musings, Guy Ritchie has produced an incoherent misfire.

David Fear Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Christopher Orr The New Republic [A]bout as compelling a brief for Kabbalah as Battlefield Earth was for scientology. Sep 22, 2008 Full Review Martin Tsai New York Sun Mr. Ritchie dilutes his snazzy action set pieces with metaphysical symbolism and aphorisms from “Julius Caesar,” “The Fundamentals of Chess,” “The Book of Suicide,” and other mismatched texts to convey some big ideas about the ego. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List Its central chess-game conceit is over-convoluted and infuriating, finally sliding into risible silliness in the last 20 minutes. Rated: 2/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An often astonishingly incoherent trainwreck... Rated: 1/4 Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

King D Guy Richie trying to relive his glory days and getting nowhere with this hero to zero movie. makes zero sense, has you asking questions which are never answered, should have known it was going to be terrible when we saw Jason Stathom with hair. Id give it zero stars if I could, almost a decent start to the film for 2 mins, then it delves into complete confusion for the entire movie then 10 mins before the end just completely ejects itself from any form of making some sort of sense. Terrible movie, dont bother. Guy Richie has been ruined by ego and seems like he could barely make a bowl of soup nevermind a good movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas fracas, com uma história muito desinteressante, os personagens são fracos, e o elenco até que é bom, mas não ajuda em quase nada no filme e com um final muito ruim, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Shane O Starts out as a normal gangster movie and then takes some very strange turns. Unfortunately it doesn’t make much sense. It is still worth a watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Dave M At a loss on a Tuesday evening I came across this, my expectations were passing the time with a standard gangster movie with possible pulp fiction overtones, yes I had time on my hands. I was wrong, I gave it 5 stars because it deceived me, it did it well. I found I was remembering conversations with a Buddhist friend when they were trying (largely unsuccessfully) to explain consciousness, ego and meditative practice. Guy may have been making the point about internal fear, but the self that the character Green was trying to expunge, seemed to me to be the ego (self) that Buddhist practice askes us to pay no attention to. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Ana Valeria G Masterpiece, one of the best films from Ritchie. Great performances and the character development is exquisite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Scott W Richie tries to bring home a deeply thoughtful and mysterious epic... in the vein of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. He fails. The script simply doesn't deliver on its very big promises. Liotta is pretty good in spots. Statham is not. Waste of time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
