ReVolver

Hello Everyone,

I have been interested in seeing Revolver (Guy Ritchie's latest film) since I heard about it being screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, but sadly it was in limited release in Canada, so I did not get a chance to see it at the movie theatre, so alas I rented it.

People, I have heard, did not respond well to this film. I think this is because the film starts off as a Guy Ritchie gangster film and then morphs into a delving into the world of Freud (not fully). The narrative style is that of Ritchie's other films; sound bridges joining separate characters in separate locales to convey important plot points. I am a big fan of Jason Statham; all always enjoy his performances and have been told by a mike friend of mine to see his latest film The Bank Job. The narrative towards the end gets very perplexing and convoluted because it gets bogged down by big ideas; those of Freud and the Ego. I think that Guy Ritchie is getting bored with the comedic thriller gangster film; I hope that I am wrong because he makes films in this trifecta hybrid genre so well. Andre Benjamin from Outkast puts in a decent performance; in the future I would not mind seeing him more in films; I think that he is really trying to be a better actor and is making progress. I doubt that I will buy this film but was glad that I got to see it because I have Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch in my DVD collection and like them both.

If any of you would like to know more about this or any other film that I have seen or any film that you have questions about please contact me and I would love to talk to you. Take Care and thanks for reading.
