its totally average,not half as good as ****** or lock stock,seems ritchies out of ideas,follows the same theme as the other two films.Its not crap,but gerrard butler is totally misplaced as one of the lead characters.Basically if you like british gangster films you will probally be ok....

Any more Guys still not sure! I do like a good gangster film.
When you say slow is it just building a good story?

I watched it along with 3 other films on my way over to Canada and it was the best of the films. I quite enjoyed it, but as the other 3 (Bangkok Dangerous, Hellboy2 & Transsiberian) were not very good I'm not sure that is saying a lot. Nothing out of the ordinary, but perfectly watchable (6.5/10).

Whether Revolver is actually poor is a contentious point of course.

I loved it , many slated it purely for being a similar format to lock,stock.
I'd give it a 7/10.

"...in my opinion..." is a phrase missing from so many threads here. Not liking it yourself doesnt make it crap; does it?

I think it's safe to assume people are posting their own opinions

I thought it was ok TBH, some bits had me in laughing fits, if you like lock stock/****** type humor, then watch it youll love it

The line when the massive black dude (after finding much important info) asks 'do you know why they call me tank????'

Answer (in a sarrrf larrrrdooon accent after a while to think)............'is it because your a uuuuuge blaaack baaaaartsaaaard'

Went great with few beers and the vloume up, well i thought so anyway

OK as I started this thread I like to finish it just watched it and thought it was very good
not as good as lock stock or ****** but really enjoyed it. So thanks for all your opinions, that was mine.
