"Ritchie may still be working within his beloved cockney gangster milieu, but he does to it something akin to what Alessandro Jodorowsky did to the Western with El Topo, or to the slasher flick with Santa Sangre."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

B+
"This is the perfect movie for those who like to crack things open and dig around the innards, with Ritchie encouraging interpretation and curiosity with each new scene."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

1/5
"I can't remember another time in my film-watching career where I sincerely hated a movie ... one of the worst films ever made"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

D+
"Even the legion of Ritchie fans hooked on the kineticism and casual violence of Snatch will surely turn on the man after seeing Revolver. He has added an insufferable pretense to his usual smugness."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1/4
"Revolver turns out to be worse than Swept Away -- and not just by a little bit."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"Really nice on the eyes, but this will make your brain hurt. I don't think repeated viewings will clarify anything, either. "  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

"Revolver is bat**** crazy, and I mean that as a high compliment."  UGO  Keith Uhlich

1/4
"Pretentious and not half as clever as it thinks it is."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

7/10
"Revolver comes off like Jim Thompson crossed with Philip K. I liked it, because of the audacious solution, but I suspect that not many other people will agree."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

.5/4
"While it's unclear if this nonsense is propaganda for Madonna's Kabbalah dogma, there's absolutely no doubt that Revolver achieves a higher plane of badness."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"This may not be the single dumbest movie of the year but, to paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones in No Country For Old Men (a film as good as this one is bad), it will do until the dumbest one finally arrives."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

1.5/5
"While it starts intriguingly, it unravels into incoherent confusion."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

"Like De Palma before him, Ritchie knows how to express substance through style."  Stranger Song  Rob Humanick

8/10
"Creepy and mysterious as The Usual Suspects, unseen forces and cryptic messages pit men against themselves in one of the darkest and best action-thrillers of the year."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

1.5/5
"Any semblance of a cohesive narrative arc is junked early on, and those who can sit through Revolver and claim to have "followed it completely" is a bald-faced liar."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg
