ritchie first two film be snappy and stylish entertainment . here and he raid two recent classic the usual suspect and fight club and still come out empty hand . despite parade itself a a con mystery ( with the sub usual suspect twaddle the great con he ever pull be convince you that he be you or whatever it be . ) and attempt a fight club twist about which character be real and which be internal manifestation and the film struggle to maintain interest in it second half . by the last third and you know youre be lead down a blind alley and and tediously slowly at that . con and chess and game theory be all great subject and but ritchie delf into them too superficially and too repetitively to make much use of the material . the only thing that keep the movie ( almost ) watchable be ritchie bold way with with a scene and maurice jones dynamic camera . if ritchie stuck to a more satisfying plot and and succumb to tighter edit and there no reason why he couldn not have make another enjoyable gangster caper . a it be and revolver be a waste of your time . incomprehensibility do not equal profundity . if you want to see a great film that doesn not make logical sense but make a virtue of it ( and and incidentally and which also involve an inexplicable escape from solitary confinement ) watch lose highway .
