As I was reading many of the comments, it is clear that virtually nobody has any understanding of enigmatic movies. eg: (Dorothy or the scene when the conversation is about “Gold” with the word “DIAMONDS” above them, etc, etc.) Unfortunate, but that is reality! If there is no car chase, naked women, foul language, etc. the movie is deemed to be a failure.
This movie is no doubt the best movie that was ever made on the subject. If you don’t understand, you are not ready for it! It is that simple!
No one can appreciate the truth if he is unprepared for it, just like a monkey can’t appreciate a harp.
Nothing is derogatory about this statement. It is a fact of life!
The quote from Mark Twain comes to mind about “journalists”.

I liked Revolver, very creative, and keeps the pace up through the whole time. Guy Ritchie is a visionary director, I liked his work on Snatch, BMW Short Movies Star and even Swept Away. It was humorous.

I also saw this film a while ago, and quite frankly I could barely sit through it. The plot of this film might make it appear Guy is returning to familiar territory, unfortunately his attempts to break out of his trademark visionary style succeeds, leaving the audience stuck with a slow moving anti slick flick that doesn’t seem to find it’s own voice. I fear Guy Ritchie fans will come to realize the extent of Ritchie’s film making talent.

this movie is alright the first time you watch it, and very clever the second time. The slow mo scene in the car is amazing. Also this movie shows Statham as an actor and i have to admit he carries his part well.

I find it very bizarre that north american is getting this film so late, so very very late.

It’s an OK movie, definitely not Guy Ritchie caliber, but has it’s moments. I just cant wait for RocknRolla, seems like he’s returning to his roots.

It over-reaches, but has some of the best sequences I’ve ever seen on film. The car crash scene alone will have me in the theater even though I have a dvd copy at home.

2 major flaws. Statham couldn’t carry the weight of the elevator scene. Liotta couldn’t carry the weight of the final scene. Personally, I would love it if the North American release was a re-cut with a different ending.

That is the worst line I have ever heard in a trailer.

It’s not a great film by any means but it’s not as bad as the poeple here make it out to be. It blows compared to lock stock and snatch but it’s watchable.

Wow. What went wrong with Guy Ritchie? At one time he was on pace to reach legendary status. Anyway, ray liotta’s appearence was enough to tell me this movie was gonna be bad. Think about it. Any time that dude turns up in anything nowadays its a bomb. And Statham’s hair peice is ridiculous. The trailer looks terrible and the cast is subpar.

How did this movie get such a delayed release in the US? Its been out for quite some time here in Ireland/UK and for anyone reading this please do not waste your time and money on this movie. It was definetly one of the worst movies of the last two years. So much so that even after the brilliance of Lock Stock and Snatch I still won’t pay to watch another of Guy Ritchies movies (yes it was THIS bad).

The casting was awful, the acting was awful the story was awful.

Everything was awful.

If you could ever rate a film in minus numbers out of 10 this would be -10/10.

Its appalling, one of the worst films I have ever seen theatrically. It might well be the worst king of faux art going. It cribs from all our favourite movies of the last ten years or so, even down to a few stolen lines from Fight Club and Usual Suspects and delivers almost nothing of any use. Although I agree that Mark Strong’s turn as Slaughter(?) was probably the best thing about it.

Here it even played with no end credits whatsoever, is that an artistic statement, or a lack of time in finishing the damn thing. I couldn’t be bothered to try and figure it out, I’m not sure its worth your time. Don’t bother.

Terrible film!!!

sorry to be so blunt, but it just is. I’m a fan of lock stock and snatch, even the lock stock series was good, but this film was a waste of my time and the ending was a joke (and not in a good way)

WTF? This movie came out in Europe like two years ago! Anyway, the movie’s ok, but really, really weird (and not at all like Snatch or Lock Stock…, very different films) … like the ending, that was way weird ;-)

I remember seeing a trailer for this a couple years back, IIRC the movie was largely panned.
