What to Know

Critics Consensus

In attempting to meld his successful previous formulas with philosophical musings, Guy Ritchie has produced an incoherent misfire.

[A]bout as compelling a brief for Kabbalah as Battlefield Earth was for scientology. Go to Full Review

Revolver is bat**** crazy, and I mean that as a high compliment. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai New York Sun 04/21/2023
Mr. Ritchie dilutes his snazzy action set pieces with metaphysical symbolism and aphorisms from “Julius Caesar,” “The Fundamentals of Chess,” “The Book of Suicide,” and other mismatched texts to convey some big ideas about the ego. Go to Full Review

Its central chess-game conceit is over-convoluted and infuriating, finally sliding into risible silliness in the last 20 minutes. Go to Full Review

An often astonishingly incoherent trainwreck... Go to Full Review

The J @RT70708650 3d Of course, people are gonna hate this. It's not perfect, but because what it's going for it so beyong anything hollywood films would even attempt, it's gonna be too different for most. And frankly, the ideas they talk about have been talked about for awhile in many psychological and spiritual books, and those who understand it will probably already see where the film is going before it reveals it completely. But the people who never really understood the depth of what is being talked about, will hate it.. So i have no doubt, most people will hate it. Most people can't grasp the profoundness of the teachings of buddha, of psychological under pinnings of how human beings think. I'd rather see films that take on subjects like this, than a 100 more films that talk about nothing.. so i definitely recommend it. But it's not a film most people will really understand, at the depth being talked about. Unless they have pretty much had the awakening the film talks about before watching it. See more Timothy M @RT81701927 Apr 25 it’s like un-fully-molded clay - i see what Guy was shooting for and it’s brilliant, but it feels a bit rushed. This probably would have thrived as a (mini)series today. Oh well, still well worth the watch. 4.5 See more Daniel Rolph S @Daniel294 Jan 12 Personally, one of my favorite Guy Ritchie's movies. Outstanding acting. Must watch it several times. See more david mateo r @David_Rich Jan 8 It is not a film for the general public, those who are used to films with stimulating action will be overwhelmed, since this film handles non-literal concepts of Kabbalah and Gnosis, a window of knowledge and emotion for those who have the mind, consciousness and heart awake to see more and find the deep meaning of reality. See more Martin J @Martin_Jarvo Dec 13 Rewards you for paying attention. The enemy is within. See more jamal j @RT14325429 Nov 17 This movie is the reason why I've stopped trusting any of the so-called "critics". Unless you're acquainted with buddhism, or have an interest - even a general one - about human mind and projection, this movie will sound dull to you, which explains every movie critic who went to the movie expecting a bang bang Hollywood type of movie. If you happen to watch this movie, make sure you have the subtitles on. This is a movie that requires full attention. FULL. See more Read all reviews
