After the first viewing, I thought is was too complicated and a bit exaggerated. However, when I read the reddit article below and gave the movie a second viewing I was blown away. A very well written and intellectual movie, with a lot of hidden meaning.

Why is Guy Ritchie's Revolver even called that? Jason Statham plays a con man out for revenge on a crooked casino owner in this one, but it really feels like Ritchie watched The Usual Suspects and Fight Club back to back and resolved to make a twisty-turny movie in that general style. Except it's much harder to follow and more pretentious. In fact, it's pretty much a mess, if a good-looking mess filled with interesting scenes. It just never gels nor earns its twists and turns. The various theories injecting the Devil and/or chess theory into the film to make sense of it, while intriguing and quite possibly part of the director's thinking, are nevertheless unsatisfying because the movie just doesn't work as a structure. I'm interested in its puzzle, but the pieces are presented in too disjointed a manner to make the puzzle-solving enjoyable. Alas. 6 years 4 months ago -

Overly complicated and with way too many characters to follow. Guy Ritchie with delusions of intelligence. 11 years 11 months ago
