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

| Sep 22, 2008

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

| Original Score: 2 | Dec 17, 2007

Revolver is bat**** crazy, and I mean that as a high compliment.

Full Review | Dec 17, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 14, 2007

And I mean it when I say the rest of this thing is a nonsensical mess. An absurd combination of Stanley Kubrick, Robert Siodmak and Roger Corman, this film can't decide what it is or what it wants to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2007

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 온라인카지노추천 show -- but isn't nearly in the same artistic league.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 7, 2007

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 7, 2007

Between the manic editing, atrocious acting, and laughably pretentious narration, Ritchie's tired tricks feel like empty distractions in a game of three-card Monte.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 7, 2007

Revolver, the latest Guy Ritchie shoot-em-up, is a joke. You laugh with it but mostly at it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 7, 2007

The movie's hit-to-miss ratio is hardly Olympic caliber, but Mr. Ritchie deserves credit for chutzpah.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

A film that's main crime is inducing stupefying boredom with little payoff in the end.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 7, 2007

The mystery surrounding the production and how someone as talented as Ritchie could produce a film this ineptly made are the most interesting elements of Revolver.

| Dec 7, 2007

A frothing mad film that thrashes against its very sprocket holes in an attempt to bash its brains out against the projector. It seems designed to punish the audience for buying tickets.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Dec 7, 2007

After 2002's terrible Swept Away and now Revolver, Ritchie has managed to make, back to back, two of the worst films any one director can lay claim to.

Full Review | Dec 6, 2007

The prospect of Ritchie going back to the gangster genre a third time is unappetizing, but it has nothing on his feeble attempt to reinvent it.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Dec 6, 2007

This 2005 feature offered me my first taste of Guy Ritchie's macho-centric artiness, and I hope it's my last.

| Dec 6, 2007

As the plot becomes increasingly convoluted -- as if two Ritchie gangster stories have been accidentally fused -- Jake's tortured state becomes ours.

| Dec 6, 2007

There are quotations from Machiavelli, brainiac chess stratagems, meditations on the ego and suicide, and some of the clunkiest gangland gab this side of a Martin Scorsese parody.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 6, 2007
