Thriller Gambler Jake Green (Statham) did seven years of solitary thanks to his dealings with short-fused gangster Dorothy Macha (Liotta). Now he’s out and wants payback.

	Author	Review
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz The New York Times	"Who is this director, and what has he done with Guy Ritchie? (...) a film whose DVD version could plausibly be filed under 'action,' 'mystery,' 'religion' and 'self-help'"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"It seems designed to punish the audience for buying tickets (...) Rating: ½★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"After Revolver, Swept Away now looks like Citizen Kane (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	William Arnold Seattle Post-Intelligencer	"Definitely deserves points for trying to be something thought-provoking and different, but it doesn't really stand up to analysis and it comes off as a pretentious mess"	NEU
United States	Gregory Lawrence Collider	"A bonkers piece of genre cinema gold, an avant-garde film noir boiling with electric filmmaking, an ahead-of-its-time gem. And, of course, everyone hated it."	POS
United States	David Fear Time Out	"To be honest, I barely understood the plot (...) Where are the laughs (by God, it needs them)? Where are the ideas?"	NEG
United States	Sid Smith Chicago Tribune	"Not the disaster described in the British press but unlikely to restore Ritchie's luster."	NEU
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"A cold, cerebral exercise in existential mannerisms that one watches with increasing dismay"	NEG
