Reviews

1. The New York Times: "“Revolver” is built around title cards quoting famous philosophers on power, deception, war and chess, and it ends with jejune sound bites from guru figures (including Deepak Chopra). The characters fear an unseen Mr. Gold who variously represents greed, pride, the ego and Satan."
2. The Boston Globe: "Revolver," the latest Guy Ritchie shoot-em-up, is a joke. You laugh with it but mostly at it. He's plucked some quotes from his copy of Bartlett's (Julius Caesar, Machiavelli) and tried to go deep into matters of being. And naturally when you think "ontology," the name "Jason Statham" comes to mind."
