Review of Revolver (2005) by Larnb — 11 Aug 2009
This film was highly under-rated. Reason being, Ritchie has been pigeonholed as a director and all the supposedly sophisticated critics who saw it had no understanding of what the film actually is, but instead seemed to judge on what they thought it 'should' be.
Look, it's not the greatest film ever made; it is flawed, yet quite interesting when taken on its own terms. If you choose to watch it -and I hope you do- don't bring any expectations with you.
This is not a stereotypical Guy Ritchie film. What is amusing, however, is that it IS a con. The entire film is a con in that it pretends to be a macho crime drama. It IS about a con, the ultimate con in fact.
