ok. this movie so far have be slat by critic and board poster alike ( although play devil advocate you could suggest that critic be often people who do not make it for themselves a film maker and and board poster be often people who do not make it for themselves a critic ) so i want to sit in guy corner with the magic sponge to perhaps reach maybe a couple of the people who have decide not to see the film base on how everybody seem to be look down their collective nose of approval at it . the film big flaw in earn wide support be how unexpectedly complex it be . this have be describe many time a a make the film inaccessible to the viewer . the film chronology be relatively non linear and the character be use a not only a mean of storytelling but a a device for show u the subtle ( or not so subtle ) hint of bias we give thing a we commit them to memory and ie . ray liotta character brandish a gun say the word fear me be portray a both tragically pathetic ( from statham pov ) or interrogate and bold ( from liotta pov ) . this be but one example of ritchie far more mature approach he have take to film make with revolver and we have a storyline which be pretty archetypal ( the strong but silent gritty anti hero get release from jail with a score to settle but get draw inadvertently into a world of corruption . i mean it paint by number film noir here guy and all the way down to the vague poetic choice of diction and the gritty voice over ) but then guy have take this framework to make a number of extremely philosophical and complex point . take the scene where jason statham character run afoul of a car . this throwaway sequence could have be emit from the film and make no difference to the story whatsoever . but ritchie be make point about how such little chance happening such a receive a phone call can make the difference between life and death . so the final act of the movie be pretty mind boggling and i would be take the ps if i say i do not spend the last 20 minute or so of the film turn to my date go uh . wtf . but that be the shoddy reason to disregard a piece of art . it be far too easy to dislike something because you find it hard to understand . and even easy to say well nobody else seem to understand it so it must be a real turd of a film . in my humble opinion and revolver be a stylish and complex and mature piece of modern art which should be greet with the same manner we would give the work of the saatchi brother . if we choose this opportunity to collectively say ah sht and i want a film about a load of bleed cockney gangster in nit loll . guy ritchie be a tit . then the day will come when film maker be allow only to make that which be expect of them by shallow and crappy people . just because guy make a name for himself with funny and cheeky cockney romp and doesn not mean he can not be deep without be pretentious . funny people can be thoughtful too .
