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

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 시우 이 It is difficult to understand, but as you watch it, you fall deeply into their acting and meaning. Interesting directing is a bonus Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Polina N After watching the movie Revolver , I want to write a review. The budget is € 20 millions. Year of release 2005 . Directed by Guy Ritchie. The film was shot in UK and France. The genre of the film is thriller and action movie. The plot centers There is Jake Green, played by Jason Statham, a street gambler who, after serving in prison, realizes that he still does not know anything about the real game in life. He enters into a deadly game with two sinister card dealers to avenge the humiliations and losses inflicted on him. One of the main themes of the film is the power of psychology, overcoming one's own fears and destroying one's ego. The acting is very powerful. I really liked the acting, I especially want to note the performance of Jason Statham, He managed to convey the whole atmosphere of his character. I would also like to note the acting of Mark Strong, Who was ideally suited for the role of a Sorter. The special effects are very good and harmonious. I really liked the movie. It’s not boring and has an interesting script. This film makes us think. I recommend this movie to watch. But you need to watch the movie revolver very carefully and pay attention to small details. I advise you to watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Gareth M What an absolute waste of time. Convoluted, pretentious and ambiguous. Guy should stick to the masterpieces he does well. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
