Revolver (2005)

"Guy Ritchie as artist-philosopher? I don’t think so, matey."

"(Revolver) replays the low-life criminal shtick from (Ritchie's) first two features with an ill-advised overlay of pretension."

"It seems designed to punish the audience for buying tickets."

"Patronisingly obvious one minute and impenetrable the next."

"After 2002's terrible Swept Away and now Revolver, Ritchie has managed to make, back to back, two of the worst films any one director can lay claim to."

"A cold, cerebral exercise in existential mannerisms that one watches with increasing dismay."

"Pretentious and not half as clever as it thinks it is."

"The prospect of Ritchie going back to the gangster genre a third time is unappetising, but it has nothing on his feeble attempt to reinvent it."

"(Its) main crime is inducing stupefying boredom with little payoff in the end."

"An irritating, repetitive and pretentious psycho-metaphysical con-job..."

"Not the disaster described in the British press but unlikely to restore Ritchie's lustre."
