October 12, 2009What a load of nonsensical, plagiaristic, headache inducing, pseudo-intellectual rubbish. Guy Ritchie has improved his visuals but he can't write to save his life. He spends far too much time trying to find that classic scene in this cult-fodder thriller that he forgets the golde...( read more)

October 11, 2009A great crime drama with a a good cast. For a change for a Guy Ritchie gangster film this isn't about East end gangsters in London and there is no humour in this. It makes a nice change and the story is very good. The plot gets a bit twisted and can be hard to follow at times. Ho...( read more)

September 26, 2009OK... this movie so far has been slated by critics and board-posters alike (although playing devil's advocate you could suggest that critics are often people who didn't make it for themselves as film-makers, and board posters are often people who didn't make it for themselves as ...( read more)

July 16, 2009A brilliant and spectacular adreniline-driven crime-thriller. A senses shattering instant classic. A pure knockout. Intensely gripping, compelling and incrediable. It's original, stunning and exhilerating. Bold, riveting and utterly explosive. This is Director, Guy Richie's maste...( read more)

November 16, 2009Guy Ritchie's crime puzzler is stunning to look at; shame it's a messy, pseudo-mystical, pop-psychology-infused gangster fable, striving way too hard for cool.

November 15, 2009Guy Ritchie's film reunited with Jason Statham has populated with the same breed of fast-talking, sharp-suited criminal that entertained so many of us in Lock, Stock and Snatch, the story hinges on gambles and cons, and the violence is strong and stylish. Plus, Sta...( read more)

November 15, 2009Neither a good nor bad film, it sets itself up like a gangster flick and then somehow veers sharply into a psychological drama that's apparently been running in the background the whole time. The twists are fun, but it doesn't quite live up to the quality of the names associated...( read more)

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim
A psychological thriller that focuses more on the 'psycho' than the 'logical' for its own good. But who says everything has to make sense when you're just trying to blow a few brains out? full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
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. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
While it's unclear if this nonsense is propaganda for Madonna's Kabbalah dogma, there's absolutely no doubt that Revolver achieves a higher plane of badness. full review
