REVOLOUTION seems like just a great story, but it is the first movie in history to be structured around a shamanic ritual, which when experienced by certain audiences, creates an identification with the near death awakening of the lead character and results in radical and instantaneous transformation in the viewer. Lou's violent stutter doesn't get him the respect he deserves. When a head injury robs him of his boxing career and forces him into the far corner of his life, his only hope for the future is as a fight trainer. But the pressure of 30 second round breaks makes him completely unintelligible, and useless as a coach. When he is confronted with the fact that his stutter may be due to his past instead of his mouth, he confronts his demons by creating a situation on the streets of his neighborhood that has never been seen in a motion picture before. A scene constructed to create a profound experience in its viewer. A moment that has consistently stayed with audiences and been used in their lives. Are you Lou? -- © Official Site [More]

1.5/5

Robert Abele

A film with movement-sparking rather than moviemaking on its mind, Revoloution is a hopelessly muddled example of inspirational indie cinema.

Be aware that RevoLOUtion is a remarkably well-made 75-minute inspiromercial.

Nick Schager

A bargain-basement independent which so abysmally examines the cathartic act of confronting personal demons that it inadvertently argues in favor of suppression and denial.

Dan Lybarger

As a director, Carr has no sense of pacing (76 minutes seems like an eternity) and doesn't know when to tell Bret Carr the actor that his performance isn't working in a given scene. Carr's crying sequences look about as fake as a purple toupee.

Ken Fox

Non-seekers ... may resent the obvious proselytizing voice-over, courtesy of a 'revoLOUtionized' Lou, and scripted psycho-babble.

Jeannette Catsoulis

Not even a grumpy cameo by Burt Young and some lovely shots of the Brooklyn Bridge can save a movie as punch-drunk as its benighted protagonist.

V.A. Musetto

The story is hopelessly contrived and the characters -- especially blacks and Italians -- laughingly stereotyped.

Less a movie than an 80-minute promo for a self-help program for the seriously desperate.
