An almost inconceivable disaster.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Chicago Tribune by Gene Siskel
Al Pacino has become a self-involved film star, and he`s one of the stars I hate.
This solemn, incoherent, brown film is set in New York and Pennsylvania in 1776-81, but it often looks determined to analogize, one more time, the Viet Nam War.
Los Angeles Times by Sheila Benson
But you know students. Some rotten Emperor’s New Clothier among them would be bound to point out that “Revolution” is utterly and fatally devoid of a story on which to hang its breathtaking pictures. And they’d have a point.
It’s an interesting achievement in many ways.
The New York Times by Vincent Canby
It's also a mess, but one that's so giddily misguided that it's sometimes a good deal of fun for all of the wrong reasons...It's so bad that one suspects there must be a good story behind it.
It's a fine line between high art and overblown nonsense. Bizarre accents and annoying camerawork abound in this package of tripe which isn't sure whether it has just left the butchers or is on its way back.
