okay . who be it . who give revolver positive . be you trip of your head on ecstasy pipe . there be so many of you . do you do it for a dare . be this some kind of cult . or do guy richie himself sign up 788 time under different name . before i say anything else and i will say this . just because you do not understand a film doesn not mean that it not great . maybe you have have a bad day at work and or you sit down to watch a film after you have a row with your wife and then weren not in the mood . maybe there a more fundamental stumbling block like you just do not have the mental capacity or a highly enough develop philosophical sense to engage with it . but . and this be a very and very big but . the xxl elephant size mega but to end all buts . please do not confuse incoherence for complexity and and please do not confuse this two hour non squirter for an interesting film . really . you may think you be pretty smart . you may even think of yourself a somewhat of a romantic figure represent an independent thinker champion a masterpiece against a chorus of sheep like naysayer . please do not . youre embarrass yourself . revolver a waste of everyone time . if you think about if for a few minute and you would recognise it too . it be a waste of the cast and a waste of the crew and a waste of the caterer and and definitely a waste of the precious minute ( you can not get them back you know ) of anyone unlucky enough to sit through this unutterable and wretched mess . no wait and come a voice in the darkness . you just do not understand . it non linear . that mean the story doesn not go in a straight line . this be actually the complex and subtle work of an auteur . it address difficult existential question . and anyway they slat fight club when it first come out do not you hear . because they couldn not deal with the complexity . theyre eat humble pie now . bet you hate lynch film too and doncha . hate to disappoint you and but i be quite a big lynch fan . i rather like memento and so a narrative told in an unconventional fashion doesn not necessarily fill me with fear . and although i have only study it briefly a few year ago and philosophy interest me greatly . i do not dislike revolver for these reason . i dislike it because it purport to be about weighty and big brain topic but deal with them in such an insultingly superficial way a to be laughable . i be not much of a chess player and but richie idea of how chess work seem to be that of a precocious four year old . i dislike it because the character and without exception and totally alienate me . aha . cry the richie apologist . guy be cleverly tip his hat to brecht . just maybe youre right . i think it more likely that he just can not write a decent script for toffee . compare revolver with fight club be actually really instructive . fight club have acid tongue and nihilistic dialogue that make you laugh . revolver have stale fortune cookie reject one liner that make your ear bleed . fight club have a great twist that make you reassess everything that have happen . revolver have and as far a i can tell and several incomprehensible twist that offer no satisfaction because . well and they do not make sense . if you keep pull the rug out from under people and they eventually kick you out of their house . and then they lock all the door and window . and they never let you back in . ever . guy richie seem to assume that be philosophical entail repeat a mantra of little buzz phrase . mostly they be spoken and but often they flash up on the screen with attribution . it almost pathological . but what make this film particularly notable be the way in which something so incomprehensible can be marry so neatly with all tired gangster clichés in the world . ultimately it so inconsequential . you do not care about anything . you do not understand anything . you go home . actually and there be a bit i really liked represent the uptight assassin who have a crisis of confidence . he great . but i can not recommend you see the film just to see him . he only in it for a few minute . please believe me . it horrible .
