Jesus, this is a stupid movie.December 17, 2007
Not the disaster described in the British press but unlikely to restore Ritchie's luster.July 11, 2016

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.September 22, 2008
[A]bout as compelling a brief for Kabbalah as Battlefield Earth was for scientology.December 14, 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.August 27, 2009
An unwieldy, short-circuiting film, packing "more tricks than a clown's pocket" yet imbued with brute spiritual forceDecember 07, 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.March 15, 2008
Like De Palma before him, Ritchie knows how to express substance through style.December 07, 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 TV show -- but isn't nearly in the same artistic league.
