You know when you hear bad things about a film, but you kinda want to make your own mind up, then you find yourself thinking 'yup, the critics were spot on'? Well this afternoon I went to see Revolver. Put it this way: the crowd must've been psychic when they started booing at the premiere. The film really is absolute pony. The first third of it was kind of 'okay', but then it just descended into complete and utter nonsense. It takes a big dog to drop a stinker of that magnitude.
But I am a born optimist, so in a desperate attempt to be fair to Mr Ritchie he is definitely a very talented director, and the film's 'look' is pretty cool and stylish. For his next project I believe he just needs two things: a) a script he hasn't written himself, and b) a producer who isn't afraid to say "No!".
