Revolver Review

There are two types of Ebert reviews I love. Okay, that's a lie, I love all of Ebert's review. But I need a rhetorical device to introduce this point, and that is that his 4 star reviews are interesting, as are his 0 star reviews. Revolver fits the latter, even though it's technically a half-star review (man, I'm full of caveats today, aren't I?). He really hated this film.
"Some of the acting is better than the film deserves. Make that all of the acting. Actually, the film stock itself is better than the film deserves. You know when sometimes a film catches fire inside a projector? If it happened with this one, I suspect the audience might cheer."
