	Revolver (2005/I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Using visual and aural clues, along with Green's constant inner-monologue, the film explores the beauty of the con, and the manic duality of the con artist.
		Ritchie fills the frame with symbolism, clues, and downright confusion to keep the viewer guessing, as though the audience was in a chess match with the filmmaker, and he continually holds the upper hand.
		The film doesn't offer literal answers (or, for that matter, even end credits), and might be a frustrating sit to some.

	Revolver DVD Review
		REVOLVER appears in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Overall, the track seemed fairly typical of its era and type of film despite the fact that the audio came across as somewhat better than average.
		REVOLVER may not appeal to all, but it definitely merits at least a rental, and fans of the legendary writer and director Sergio Sollima will want to add this wonderful DVD to their collections.

	Movie Review: Revolver
		Revolver is a strange film, a film that loses the plot, regains it, loses it again and then runs riot.
		Revolver is the film in which Guy Ritchie has found his spiritual side.
		True if after the film you discuss it incessantly, you will start to see more and more plot holes but coming out of the cinema there is both a sense of confusion and yet at the same time intrigue.

		As we watched Madonna sing "Come on over to my house" in that film, we thought: OK. This is on a level with 18th-century dentistry, but at least this is the lowest it can go.
		This film is like the most horrific 90s TV ad for Guinness that never got shortlisted for an industry award.
		Faced with this dead weight at the centre of the film, poor Ray Liotta does his considerable best, a malevolent predator whose bared teeth show up ghostly white in a private tanning salon.

	Toronto Dispatch: Pride & Prejudice, Revolver - Cinematical
		The 4th film of the day was Trust the Man, a film I had totally forgotten the premise for, and therefore why I had chosen it.
		Gondryl was on hand to introduce the film, though he didn't have much to say about it, and whether that's due to his very thick accent or simply because he's not confident of the film, I don't know.
		While the film has no mention of this block party being for any kind of charity, I think what Dave's really doing is giving back to the community, as we see him handing out golden tickets to folks, young, old, fl and white.

		He went straight on to a another British crime film, Snatch, but this time the locals were joined by a major American star, Brad Pitt (for whose Irish accent Dick Van Dyke may well have acted as dialect coach), and two minor ones, Benicio Del Toro (from The Usual Suspects) and Dennis Farina.
		Revolver centres on Jake Green, a criminal who emerges from jail after seven years in solitary confinement, determined to avenge himself on the oddly named underworld kingpin Dorothy Macha (known as Mr D) who framed him.
		That Ritchie has a certain flair for film-making is self-evident, but Revolver ends up incoherent, solemn and pretentious, lacking altogether the logic, humour, structural conviction and moral force of the films he admires and draws on.

		But this film feels like someone told Ritchie that he is a director of depth and insight and not the ringmaster of a hyperactive circus.
		Revolver is so tedious that it is nearly unreviewable.

	Critics tear Revolver apart - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		The film follows Ritchie's Swept Away (2002) which was, in fact, swept under the carpet and released only on DVD in Britain.
		The film took more than a year-and-a-half to write and then was changed completely a week before shooting.
		Ritchie's famous wife, however, swept aside all criticism at the premier of the film in London, insisting she "love(s) it".

	Which film is your top of the flops? \| the Daily Mail
		Revolver has been savaged by reviewers and could well be the final nail in the coffin of his once-glittering career.
		The film explores the origins of Catwoman, born from the Marvel comics.
		Open Water for me is still by absolute miles the worst film I have ever seen - not only can the male actor not act to save his life, but the story line is very boring and repetitive (it makes a big play of sharks attacking, whilst barely even seeing one).

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| Revolver
		But instead of creating a thought-provoking film as strange as anything David Lynch has created, he's produced a bewildering dark forest of a movie that is virtually impenetrable thanks to an opaque and elliptical final reel.
		The revolver of the title could refer to the handguns used in the film, or, more likely, the slowly spiralling storyline that loops back on itself, unravelling in the process.
		Revolver is going to divide and frustrate its audience and leave them blinking at the screen, wondering if both Guy Ritchie and his film have lost the plot.

	Jean Rouch: Les Nègres
		This public ambivalence to the film has resulted from the reactions to arresting and graphic images and scenes, as well as to the social and cultural significance of the activities depicted within the film.
		The film opens with a brief explanation about the encounter between people from the northern and the southern regions and the discord created by the confluence of modern and traditional life in colonial Gold Coast.
		As the film demonstrates, none of the Hauka are hurt by the possession ceremonies either.

	Revolver movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		The movie is filled with references to films of his directors but what he has made doesn’t come close to anything that his influences have produced.
		The only things that make the film watchable are the good performances from the cast and how visually stunning the film is. Jason Statham is as good as ever, showing again that he is a diverse actor who is just as strong with dialogue as he is with action.
		The visuals of the film also impress, with the whole movie beautifully shot throughout but there are far too many nods to other directors from the same vain.

	MediaGuardian.co.uk \| Media \| How to flog a turkey
		The critical reaction to Guy Ritchie's Kabbalah-infused gangster flick Revolver has been rather like watching a car crash in slo-mo. The film is, by common consent, not merely a turkey, but a squawking, gobbling prize Christmas clunker of a bird.
		I think it's a brilliant film and is going to be a big hit.'" But the testimony of the 22-year-old glamour model from Kent rather loses its lustre when the paper adds a significant caveat: "By the way folks...
		As the power of the internet grows, film distributors are turning increasingly to web experts to exploit the new medium, paying agencies such as Greenroom to create online packages that are then passed to "media partners" such as the Sun for free.

	Revolver Film Review - Time Out Film
		I’ll leave you to invent a suitable punchline to that particular joke and cut straight to the chase: ‘Revolver’ is a humourless, leaden and incoherent car-crash of a movie.
		During a QandA session at the Toronto Film Festival last week, Ritchie told an audience who had just watched the film that it was probably worth viewing a few times to understand it properly.
		Revolver was amazing i have'nt been this excited about a film since the sixth sense.

		He dropped out of school at 15 (he is dyslexic), but went on to become an accomplished music video and film director.
		Recalling Quentin Tarantino and The Sting in equal measure, the film was widely praised for its wit.
		Ritchie's next announced project was originally a Vegas-themed heist film entitled Revolver, which he ankled to concentrate on the Civil War drama Six Shooters, in which four Union soldiers try to steal the gold reserves that Conferate President Jefferson Davis loaded onto trains during the siege of Richmond.

		The images were designed to be viewed as slides since many slide accessories were made such as a slide projector with two, fast lenses and various slide holders and trays.
		Since it is a disposable, the film cannot be changed, and it costs you $25 each time -- plus processing.
		I suppose, like other disposables, that the film can be changed with some effort, and the camera re-used.

	DVD Times - Revolver
		REVOLVER is a brilliantly directed, averagely-acted film that collates a collection of complex philosophical ideas and dresses them up as a crime thriller.
		Revolver is a hugely intelligent film and I would be greatly impressed of anyone who manages to understand it on even a fundamental level upon the first time of viewing.
		Then the film became nothing short of genius for me. It is deeply philosophical but there are many other elements to make an all round spectacular and psychological masterpiece.

	Film Review: Revolver
		Whereas with Layer Cake, Vaughn made the mistake of thinking that a British gangster film without an interesting premise (unlike Sexy Beast), or its tongue firmly in its cheek, could work, Ritchie's Revolver fails by trying to be too clever for its own good and eventually disappears up its own pretentious rear end.
		At this point the film veers away from any notion of coherence and soon the story morphs from yer run-of-the-mill Ritchie gangster fl comedy into some existential tosh about the enemy within.
		In fact, the best way to describe Revolver is to imagine both these masterful films put in a blender with an ostentatious, pseudo-philosophical turd, the kind that has a punchable mug, if turds actually have faces.

	Guy Ritchie
		My main reason for attending the Toronto International Film Festival this year was to watch three Hong Kong movies that will probably not get a theatrical release here in the States — “The Myth,” “Seven Swords,” and “SPL.” Of the three, the cop thriller “SPL” is the most satisfying.
		Perhaps his best editing achievement in the film is not over-editing the fight scenes, instead utilizing a healthy dosage of wides shots and long takes.
		Shot by Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”), the film documents a concert party Chappelle put together in a mystery location in Brooklyn to celebrate the $50M contract renewal for his show with Comedy Central.

	DARKMATTERS - The Mind Of Matt: Positive Film Review: Revolver
		Except Revolver isn’t anything like those two earlier movies, where they played for laughs and violence, this one delves into metaphysical ponderings, personal demons, oh but it does keep the violence.
		Revolver as a slick, delicious, thinking person’s gangster thriller – alas from the blank faces and mutterings of ‘what the hell was that all about’ that accompanied my screening it looks like there just aren’t that many ‘thinking people’ going to see Guy Ritchie films these days…
		Revolver definitely won’t be everybody’s cup of tea but it delivers two smoking barrels of quality gangster intrigue.

		Revolver is one such movie — a piece of work guaranteed to send you into a violent frenzy.
		Then, about 15 minutes in, the film goes into meltdown as Jake is diagnosed with a terminal blood disease and then waylaid by two loansharks, played by Vincent Pastore and OutKast’s Andre Benjamin.
		Revolver sure looks the part, with lots of flashing lights, swanky casinos and slick mobsters but no amount of Vegas cool can disguise the dead-on-arrival script.

		REVOLVER: Veteran Spaghetti Western director Sergio Sollima presents a gritty crime drama of surprising subtlety, a B-movie thriller accompanied by a fantastic score by Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, KILL BILL).
		Both Reed and Testi turn in charismatic, powerful performances, and the film is notable for its restraint, painting a portrait of the mostly gray areas between the fl and white notions of good and evil.

	Revolver film review
		The knives have been out for Guy Ritchie ever since he cast his more famous wife in the 2002 film Swept Away and created what is generally seen as one of the worst cinematic experiences of the new century.
		In that peculiarly unfair English way, the man who captured the zeitgeist and made one of the most successful British films of all-time with Lock, Stock now appears to be a fully-formed target for the media who are eager to bring down a director who dares to be both different and successful.
		It's difficult to know where to start with the plot of Revolver and this is the film's central problem - it seems that writer Ritchie, for all his skill in directing set-pieces, had little idea as well.

	Revolver : film review
		Typical of films of this ilk, the plot is multi-layered and it is sometimes difficult to keep tabs on who's out to get who and why (although characters' motives for blowing someone's brains out are usually flimsy).
		A sequence, early on, in which Jake falls in slo-mo down stairs as classical music plays in the background is classy but an animation segment is contrived and merely cements Ritchie's status as a poor man's Tarantino.
		At times the film plays out like an overblown music video, which is of course were the director began, and the plot feels like it exists to showcase style rather than substance.
