I'm sure directors are supposed to improve with each picture but Guy Ritchie seems to be bucking the trend. Lock Stock was great, Snatch was very good, Swept Away was Average/Poor and Revolver was a debacle. There is so little enjoyment in this picture, trying to decrypt a plot is painful stuff, and when the acting dissolves into paranoiac rants you doubt whether you should bother. I want those 2 hours back, I don't think I will ever get them.

Good performances can be found, but Ray and Jason really are poor. I must say at this point that there are other films that do the multiple - multiple twist thing a whole lot better than this. I'm paying reference to the picture Old Boy which puts Ritchie's film in the shade, Old Boy oozes intellect and brilliant performances. Revolver is simply… really bad.

I'm 28 now, but this film is still very important to me. PUTV is the best teen drama out there (though there aren't many to compete with it), it really grasps how so alone some teenagers can feel and how rejectedby the system they so often are. The film has dated some what, but if there ever was an early warning sign of the problems that face American schools today (columbine esque) this is it. You can only push teenagers so far before they lose the plot, end up killing themselves or other people, PUTV is about those feelings. Slater is the bomb in this film, he is truly awesome and Mathis plays a great sidekick. The fact she shows a bit of flesh makes the movie highly genuine, yes girls do get naked with boys whilst at high school. PUTV does now suffer with its meaning to the modern era, but modern kids still do get dejected and rejected and this film is a great message in saying.... You Are Not Alone! 10/10 Then.... 8/10 Now.

Oh my goodness this was a tedious 90 minutes. The start was quite interesting, but the character development was awful. Two moaning, whinging, spoilt idiots decide to go on a scuba dive only to be left in the middle of the ocean... I'm not surprised they left them, anything to get their miserable faces off the boat. What follows is pure tedium, I would have walked out if it wasn't for the fact I was grasping to the hope they would be eaten by the sharks. the attempt at the clever ending just damned the film further. The key basis of this film is to connect with the two main characters, thus you end up being in the water with them, thus terrible acting performances in my opinion condemns this film to a 2/10.
