Seems like a fair trade...

The best part of the trailer was Autumn 2005.  You don't see that too often.

GUY RITCHIE's new movie has been savaged by critics after it's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

Just two years after his last effort, SWEPT AWAY, flopped miserably - Revolver, Ritchie's return to the gangster genre, has been dismissed as a "convoluted, risibly overwrought muddle" by one US magazine.

Screen International also warned viewers would be left "bewildered and disappointed" by what the Hollywood Reporter described as "pretentious style and fractured storytelling".

Hollywood Reporter reviewer KIRK HONEYCUTT adds, "The movie spins wildly in circles, continually doubling back on itself, repeating scenes - once even backward - and lines of dialogue until a viewer loses a grip on what is supposed to be real."

JASON STATHAM, RAY LIOTTA and ANDRE '3000' BEJNAMIN star in the movie about a feud between a criminal gambler and a gangland boss.

Ritchie was acconpanied to the Toronto screening by his wife MADONNA - appearing less than a month after she suffered three cracked ribs, a broken collarbone and a broken hand in a horse riding accident.

Just like Lock, Stock... and Snatch.  I'm hard-pressed to think of a more overrated director.  At least some people are catching on.

[cowboykurtis]

does anyone know what format this was shot on?

the trailer looks to be HD

[Weak2ndAct]

Ha!  I read in a review that the film even has an animated sequence (someone's seen Kill Bill?).  I can't wait for this to tank.

They have to stop mentioning Madonna everywhere... she doesnt do shit anymore... so why do we have to hear about her broken ribs, her stupid house in England, Kabala, and his overrated wannabe husband?

[polkablues]

*sigh*... so much hate.  

I'm just going to come out and say it.  I like "Lock, Stock" and "Snatch".  I enjoy them a great deal.  Fuck it.  I'll probably enjoy "Revolver", as pretentious and fractured as it may be.  See if I care.  I won't.  The point is, when I feel like seeing a Guy Ritchie movie, there's only one place to fulfill that urge: Guy Ritchie movies.

No one should have the urge to watch this:

Madonna defends Ritchie's "Revolver"

Singer Madonna defended her husband Guy Ritchie's latest film "Revolver" on Tuesday, when the couple attended the London premier after a series of damning reviews.

The film stars Ritchie regular Jason Statham as a man out to get revenge on a mob killer played by Ray Liotta.

It is the director's first film since the ill-fated "Swept Away" in 2002, which starred Madonna but went straight to DVD in Britain.

"I love it," she told Sky television, referring to the new movie. "I think it's a very brave film, a bit macho."

Ritchie has not had a hit since "Snatch" in 2000, which followed his popular "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" two years earlier.

Ritchie said he had not read the reviews and said the film was made for the audience and not the critics.

"Ritchie's new film lands on cinema-goers' collective head like a sack of wet sand," was the Guardian newspaper's comment.

Ritchie said he had not read the reviews and said the film was made for the audience and not the critics.

So what if the audience says it sucks?

"I make movies for myself and not the audience or the critics."

[72teeth]

And if Ritchie hates it himself:

"I make movies for Polkablues."

On a related matter, Madonna needs to shut her mouth this instant.  Madonna coming out in defense of a movie has the same effect as Jane Fonda coming out against a war; it's totally counterproductive, whether she's right or not.

i'm not sure when/if it's ever going to be released here so since it's been released on dvd overseas i decided to seek it out.  i was a pretty big fan of guy ritchie's having loved and bought his first two films.  but it has been a few years since i've seen either so i was interested to see what a guy ritchie 'mindfuck' might be like. it was pretty crazy.  it gave me a similar ride to Mullholland Drive in that i watched it and enjoyed every minute until i got to the ending and then was just bewildered.  so perhaps with a few more viewings this could too prove to be genius.  or it might just be crap. 

i think if anything the movie suffers from trying too hard to pound you with certain ideas.  there are a number of phrases that are repeated maybe a half dozen times in the film to the point where it becomes too much.  had he been a little more brave and given it to you once or twice the film would be even more successful.  i did some reading around after watching the film on imdb and the theories people have into the film are incredibly in depth, to the point that i'm still shocked that he's made a film so hard to penetrate as this.  if anyone here actually watches this i'll be interested to hear what they think.

[bonanzataz]

according to imdb, it should be out on the 26th. limited release, i guess? i haven't seen ANY advertising.

while doing a little internet searching i stumbled onto this...
