Guy Ritchie's Movie Disliked by Toronto Critics

Guy Ritchie's new movie has been savaged by critics after it's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

Just two years after his last effort, "Swept Away," flopped miserably, "Revolver," Ritchie's return to the gangster genre, has been dismissed as a "convoluted, risibly overwrought muddle" by one U.S. magazine.

Screen International also warned viewers would be left "bewildered and disappointed" by what the Hollywood Reporter described as "pretentious style and fractured storytelling."

Hollywood Reporter reviewer Kirk Honeycutt adds, "The movie spins wildly in circles, continually doubling back on itself, repeating scenes -- once even backward -- and lines of dialogue until a viewer loses a grip on what is supposed to be real."
