Revolver
The film is about a gambler named Jake Green. It seems that Jake will be in real trouble when he enters a game with potentially lethal consequences that will change his life. Jake signed between a pistol and a difficult place he could not escape from where he found himself protected by a loan shark. Jake receives an offer he can not refuse, where he must agree before it is too late.

It's not worth the bother.

Like De Palma before him, Ritchie knows how to express substance through style.

An unwieldy, short-circuiting film, packing "more tricks than a clown's pocket" yet imbued with brute spiritual force

It's an irritating, repetitive and pretentious psycho-metaphysical con-job that's ultimately about transcending the ego, and it owes a significant debt to the 1960s The Prisoner TV show -- but isn't nearly in the same artistic league.

Revolver taps into a struggle everyone faces that only a small few have been able to relate to. It's not that this film isn't a mess, but that mountain of a mess is on top of a shiny gem of a film that is worthy of being admired.

Guy Ritchie's greasy little noir Revolver is good grindhouse fun until a last act that's like a meeting of a psychoanalysts' convention.

Not the disaster described in the British press but unlikely to restore Ritchie's luster.

Jesus, this is a stupid movie.

The plot isn't intellectually challenging as much as it is confusing, and yet the big twist is completely telegraphed. Ritchie has created a movie that is patronizingly obvious one minute and impenetrable the next.

Incoherent.

[A]bout as compelling a brief for Kabbalah as Battlefield Earth was for scientology.
