Revolver (2005)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 5/24

5/24: Stick a fork in Guy Ritchie; he's done.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels showed promise, and Snatch was unique. But this one, Revolver, is the biggest piece of shit I've come across in a while. It only takes five minutes into the film for me to scream: "Pretentious!"

Ray Liotta needed to take a long look in the mirror and ask himself, "Are you fucking kidding me?" While at that, he should've sued whoever did his makeup job. Ditto for the other guy who was sitting next to him at the casino.

I don't have a single clue as to what the story is all about...none whatsoever. I kept falling asleep because it was so boring. Because of Mr. Gold as a stand-in for Keyser Söze, did Guy Ritchie watch The Usual Suspects to death and then pour in the ridiculous maxims for the hell of it?

All in all, marrying Madonna was the biggest mistake of Guy Ritchie's life.
