Solid enough but lacking any real bite or originality
By Daniel Pollard from Manchester, England , 17 Feb 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
The latest film from Sam Mendes the acclaimed theatre director turned Hollywood darling by his first feature, American Beauty. He quickly followed this up with the Road to Perdition, Jarhead and now Revolution Road, adapted from the cult Richard Yates novel.
The film returns to the themes first covered by Mendes in American Beauty of mundane, bored and unfulfilled relationships behind the white middle class picket fences of suburban American. Unfortunately, this all sounds very familiar and when the film is running it does feel very outdated and dull. After watching David Lynchs dark masterpiece Blue Velvet and even Mendes own American Beauty its easy to feel this is a soft touch lacking any real bite, satirical edge or originality.
On the plus side, the performances are solid, if a little too worthy, the cinematography is neat and unfussy and the supporting roles are good, even if they are very clichéd.- Was this review helpful to you?

(585)A great film
By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 04 Mar 2013Kate Winslet. Married life in mid 1950s . A great film which is depressing to watch and about the conflicts, and frustrations, and dissatisfaction that accompany hope and aspiration in suburbia. It explores the pressures in relationships and is well acted.- Was this review helpful to you?

Concur with "Bland"
By a customer , 11 Jan 2013Widely acclaimed but I concur with the 'Very Bland' review. Good performances but found the story lacking. Not a movie to watch when depressed!- Was this review helpful to you?

Not quite revolutionary but a good movie
By BGood (3 reviews) , 01 Dec 2012The inertness of this film gives it a suffocating feel without really trying. The story brilliantly encapsulates the hopes of anyone wanting more from society/life than a middle class suburban dream. Yet, like a monster in a horror film, society/life seems to conspire against them to make their revolution difficult... There is a hunger burned up by this film that isn't quite satiated- the decisions made by the characters were sometimes confusing yet worthy of empathy. Great movie in its ability to create that hunger- it could have been more...- Was this review helpful to you?

Very bland
By a customer , 24 Sep 2012I'll just start with the actors, yes they were amazing and i found them very convincing. It was also nice to see this pair reunited. But sadly the story line was boring, it was just so plain. Dissapointed and a waste of such great talent.- Was this review helpful to you?
