Too many fans seem to be blown away

From my favorite movies..

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Revolutionary Road3 And A Half Out Of 5Revolutionary Road is a character driven feature of a couple who thrives to survive each with all the tactics they can think of. The chemistry among the characters seemed mandatory to be excellent and palpable but the makers wisely gave them an edgy tone to fill their skills in and flaunt it like never before. It is rich on technical aspects like costume, production and art design, cinematography, and editing although is short on background score and sound department. The writing is adaptive, fast-paced and elaborative which makes one of the best combinations of all time to lock the untold mystery. The adaptation by Justin Haythe is smart if not gripping and thought-provoking and sensible if not engaging. Sam Mendes; the director, aces in executing such an eerie plot and its his brilliant perspective that makes it intriguing enough to invest in it. The performance is scored majestically by the lead couple (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) in their parallel roles and is supported thoroughly by an amazing cast like Kathy Bates, Kathryn Hahn and Michael Shannon. Revolutionary Road does not only revolutionizes the genre but redefines it in its own terms that is exhilarating as much as dark.

An outstanding drama demonstrating an awfully common problem of our society, which often isn't being recognised by the suffering party. The drama has 3 main characters - April (Kate Winslet) the housewife, Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio), the main character and will talk about the third one later.If you experience anything what you've seen in the movie, you are psychologically abused and should see someone specialised immediately. Frank personalises the perfect abusive husband who knows all the trick how he can terrorise April without ever hurting her physically. But she doesn't give up, tries to change their life entirely, Frank gives the hope, agrees with April, but when he has to do action, he finds excuses every time. And again and again so he can let April down. Well, this is not the first one of its subject. The third main character is John (Michael Shannon), who says out loudly the truth and is intelligent enough to analyse the main characters psychologically - ironically he is considered psychopath for doing it so in this 1950's society.Overall it is a good movie representing important values, but not an easy watch. You might get confused about April's personality and behaviour, which demonstrates how much she suffers due to the abuse she has to take.

It was very well acted and it certainly pertained to real lifestyles way back in those days, when times were tough, money was minimal, birth control was limited (I know, I'm a child from a parent that grew up with 12 other children-the baby booming era), but yet choices were plentiful. The settings were phenomenal, exactly to that decade. I even remember the plexi-glass partitions that separated each office cubicle. But the great cinematography had all the old cars in the driveways and in drive-bye's as well. The types of suits and clothes they wore and the aprons all reminded me of that era. This movie has all the emotions covered, most of them. It's worth watching! It's a solid 7 Star movie because even though it was not predictable, it was really good.

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. None of the characters are likable. A boring man and a horrible woman don't achieve their pipe dreams, so they have loads of blazing rows. This unlikeable couple shout at each other at the top of their voices over and over and over again. There was so much hype and praise heaped on this film and The Reader in 2008 - yet both films are dreadful. They're a waste of Kate Winslet's acting talent - she's great in Heavenly Creatures.
