Lock Stock & Snatch are great but Revolver is in a totally different class and if your films to give food for thought, few are as good as this!

You just made me want to see Revolver even more!! Since a US release is doubtful, I'm hoping we'll at least get the DVD soon! And frankly...I'm waiting with baited breath for Rocknrolla!

Watch revolver with and open mind, and you just might find a really good film. It's in there, but you have to work at it, which I gues is too much to ask from people these days. Or maybe because Snatch and Lock Stock were so fun and not complex that people refuse to accept a film which is inherently an arthouse abstract study of mythic archetype. Did lose you already? I'd put up a lot of money that if the same movie had been released in the US under the name of kar wai wong or fernando meirelles the reaction would have been fundamentally different.

One of the worst films I've ever watched. And I am a huge Lock Stock/Snatch fan but even with these gems under his belt Revolver was a complete polar opposite to both movies. I expect rehashed everything in this new movie trying to get the old magic back.

What about Revolver? Was it even released stateside? I can't recall one or the other. My guess is that it wasn't released here since it didn't do well, critically or commercially, in the UK. At least Madonna wasn't in it, so that's a plus right there. Either way, I'm seriously doubtful about the prospects for his next film. Smacks of desperation to re-use all the elements and narrative tricks that initially made him successful. We'll see, I guess. Geoffrey Fleming brings up a good point. What about Revolver?

What a complete disaster. Getting back his roots I doubt will bring him back to his best. Ritchie lost all creditibility with Revolver. What a complete disaster.
