I have seen Snatch and it's a damn good movie. I don't usually pay attention to directors so I wouldn't necessarily know about what movies guy ritchie is involved in, for the matter even tarantino's name and work have been fairly late additions to my movie-watching; I've seen pulp fiction and inglorious bastards, but I haven't seen 'kill bill' or even 'reservoir dogs'. This last one is on my watch-list though.

Trainspotting was a great ride. I am disapointed that you didn't like " Revolver", this movie is epic. RD you should check it out, trust me.

it made no sense, the storyline was so confusing and the ending was bizarre...it had the potential to be a classic but he tried to be overly clever with it.

I dont know what kind of movies you people like but "Glengarry Glen Ross" was one of my suggestions. Its somewhat older, from 1992, but crew and plot are great

I know what you mean, I felt the same way watching it the first time. "Revolver" is a film that's meant for a narrow audience, Ritchie knew this himself. Give it another shot ADT, there's important, strong messages that are relayed through the story that anyone can related too. For this, Guy Ritchie did a brilliant job. It's no wonder it failed in the box office (tho he didn't give a fuck). The ending was a perfect ending once you get what it's really all about.

no i got it, i know what he is trying to do, its all a psychological mindfuck in the end, he is trying to turn te villain on himself and all that, my beef with the movie is that it is over elaborate, disjointed, unnecessarily complicated and it is pretending to be much more than it is, which is a ganster movie with an all star cast

^ that was the trick, it really had nothing to do with being a "gangster" film.
Who is Sam Gold?

some sort of alter ego,
look those movies seldom work, it is a very heavy plot, that's why it wasn't well received from audiences and critics alike, there is a reason why inception worked and movies like the revolver don't...inception ended with a sense of reality, smth tangible whereas revolver was just missing that dimension to it, it failed to unblur the lines between hallucination and reality and people generally do not respond well to those types open ended plot schemes

it comes down to preference I guess. I couldn't put Inception and Revolver in the same category; idea, plot, script-purpose was really different.

neither am i, i'm not saying they're the same type of movies, i'm saying they both tread the line between real and the surreal but in one it works whilst the in other it doesn't...according to me

my favorite moment was the Elevator scene (check youtube), in my opininon the whole movie was to lead to that moment.
Mark Strong is a great actor, who seen Body of Lies?

when you talk guy ritchie movies, people immediately think Snatch because it was a commercial success..... When one talks about Guy Ritchie,I always think of Madonna and bad films . Didn't they make a flop together?

Last night I saw a Movie called "Buried" with Ryan Reynolds as the only actor, I thought it was brilliant....A guy is buried alive, and in the coffin has only a Zippo lighter,pocket knife,flashlight,2 glowsticks, half charged mobile phone and there is only 90mins of oxygen.

I just saw "Be Cool" last night with my ex. Pretty funny, typical hollywood style drama/comedy but clever too. John Travolta is boss, as always. lol www.imdb.com/title/tt0377471/and a great cast.
