Plot summary

Hotshot gambler Jake Green is long on bravado and seriously short of common sense.

Invited to a private game, Jake is in fear of losing his life.

Storyline vs production

As I have been reading the posts regarding this movie, I come to realize those that like this movie tend to make a point of explaining to others about how to interpret the storyline. And it's quite a storyline with all the symbolism and metaphors about chess and human sins squeezed into it. The problem is that the production doesn't hold all the bulky storyline together in a satisfying way. It's like Guy tries too hard and ends up making mess of it all.Many of those that watch this movie and understands the detail and intricacies of it like to point out that they do get it and therefore feels good about themselves and automatically gives the movie a high score. It's like in the movie: They are being fed pieces and feel intelligent when they knock them down.But seriously, the movie just make you feel sick when it tries to display it's twisted view of a inner psychological battle. It's full of clichés and rough edges to the camera work and effects. It picks up bits from all other films with twists in it and it doesn't hold up. He mixes up The usual suspects, David Lynch in general and his previous films in one big bad camera mess.So, to wrap this up, here's my conclusion and opinion; the storyline is kinda cute, but the production of it isn't. To you who liked it, I can only say: Good for you. You got something out of it, and I didn't. To you who didn't like it: It's not always easy to understand if you're not used to think the movies through for hidden meanings. That will make even good movies seem like crap. Or, you just didn't enjoy it because it hurt your eyes with it's sloppy psycho scenes.So, here a can of fuel to all you flamers. Light it up! =)

Entertaining

Jason Statham is Jake Green, a criminal recently released from prison after serving a seven year sentence. He is able to win big money at casino card games and he is pitted against Ray Liotta, who plays a mob kingpin who spends a good deal of time surrounded by tanning lights while walking around in his underwear; a very strange sight, indeed. Andre 3000 and Vincent Pastore of Sopranos fame become his underworld mentors as they combine to commit a series of death defying heists. The acting is superb, with solid action scenes from director Guy Ritchie. Unfortunately, the story becomes somewhat convoluted. Stathan, 3000, and Pastore have good chemistry and provide some good funny moments in between the bloody carnage. Liotta is quirky but his usual watchable self and overall, the cast makes Revolver worth the ride.

Utter Nonsense

This movie by Guy Ritchie is his one bad film I've seen so far. And its really bad. I could tell when I first watched it by the unnatural and forced dialogue. I should have turned it off at the beginning but because it is a Guy Ritchie film I gave it a chance.This film however is perhaps the most incoherent and nonsensical movie ever written. Most of it doesn't make sense. And just so you know, I love movies that make you think, and are mysterious and even confusing, and give you something to figure out. But they have to come together at least by the end. This movie doesn't. It just continues to get more and more nonsensical as the plot unravels more and more. This movie attempts to mind-F you and yet it just comes off as ridiculous BS.Worst yet is that it is so pretentious and tries to come off like a super intelligent and intellectual film, which it is certainly not. When things are said that are meant to be thought provoking, they don't actually make sense. And again, the writing is terrible. Nothing seems natural or realistic, and yet it is not supposed to be a fantasy film, and there is no explanation as to why nothing is realistic. It just seems kind of silly and dumb.The directing, cinematography, editing and production are good, which is why I am giving it a 2 and not a 1. But other than that this movie was a frustrating 2 hours of time wasted that I wish I could get back. Especially since I spent my saturday night watching it. An unfortunate fail for Guy Ritchie. Thank god all his other movies are good.
