"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."

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"

"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."

.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."
