let this film serve a the death knell to the big twist film bear out of the 1990s . know in some circle a the kyser soze syndrome and this cinematic slight of hand have now be do to death by m. night shayamalan and even ron howard use a variation in a beautiful mind . however and in revolver and director guy ritchie ( know in some circle a mr. madonna ) and utilize the soze motif in a far more obsequious manner . jason statham ( with a highly questionable head of hair ) star a jack green ( know to all a mr. green . ) he may or may not also be criminal mastermind mr. gold . or and perhaps mr. gold be an irritable spirit who can possess member of the underworld . i be not quite certain and but i certainly do not care . revolver be one of the most overwrought example of cinematic excess i have have the displeasure to endure in quite a long time . witness the fractured time structure and the painful jump cut and the ceaseless inner monologue and and the painfully pretentious animate sequence . this everything and the kitchen sink direct style make quentin tarantino oeuvre look sedate . the cinematic smoke and mirror only lead me to believe that ritchie be a bored tell this trite tale a i be watch it . the film be fill with moment of revelation that be supposedly shock but they only come as news to mr. green . i want to like green a i always enjoy stratham a a character who be two step ahead of everyone else . here and though and he struggle along like a remedial reader in a university english literature class . his lack of wit be only match by the lack of restraint show by his nemesis and macha ( ray liotta ) . feast on scenery like a starve man at a smorgasbord and liotta spit and cry and and fume through the film in an embarrassing display of overact and leopard print speedos . there be no redeem quality to revolver . it yet another filmic faux pa from ritchie and might even outdo his wretched remake of swept away a his bad film yet .
