6/10
Why the other, earlier comments are misleadingly positive

Warning: Spoilers
1)Many of them are probably connected to THIS REVOLUTION director Stephen Marshall, who made the unusual effort to provide the summary for his own movie at IMDb. If you look at Marshall's seven directing credits in the three years prior to THIS REVOLUTION, it all sounds like student projects or public access channel filler. The quickest illustration of how sophomoric Marshall's thinking remains can be found in his summary for this film, in which he refers to Rosario Dawson's character as "Seven," an apparent "Black Bloc" code name evidently cut from the finished film. If this is the case, Marshall should have edited his earlier pre-release summary and put in her correct character name, "Tina Santiago." It is the director's lack of an eye for continuity, consistency, and details that sabotages what could have been an interesting film. (Viewers of the "Behind the Scenes" extra on the DVD will clearly see Marshall tried his darnedest to "dumb down" the cast and rest of the crew to his own level.)

2)Back when the so-called "best" comments (by people rating THIS REVOLUTION between "7" and "10" on a 10-point scale) were written, I'm sure these same folks would have giving FAHRENHEIT 9-11 director Michael Moore a "9" for farting--or even 10, if it was an especially loud and odorous one! I dare anyone to view THIS REVOLUTION for the first time tomorrow and give it an 8, 9, or 10 with a straight face!
