Reviews
|
Chicago Tribune -
Part gambling heist, part graphic novel, part metaphysical mumbo jumbo, Revolver is a mess of many colors, few of them satisfying.
|
|
Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Definitely deserves points for trying to be something thought-provoking and different, but it doesn't really stand up to analysis and it comes off as a pretentious mess.
|
|
Washington Post -
Its main purpose -- and no, you are not experiencing ocular breakdown -- is spiritual.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The film's pretentious style and fractured storytelling preclude any audience involvement in the coy melodrama.
|
|
Village Voice -
It's no return to rock, this, but rather Ritchie's soporific, proggy-conceptual Film of Ideas, with Vivaldi interludes, fussbudget set design, recurrent references to chess, and a hit man inexplicably got up as Tati's Mr. Hulot.
