DVD Description
Gambler and conman Jake Green (Jason Statham) always ran with a bad crowd and it cost him seven years of his life when he took the rap for mean Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta) and wound up in jail. After his release, Jake becomes unbeatable at the tables using a formula for the ultimate con that he learned from two mysterious fellow prisoners. Now he is ready to take his revenge. Macha is plotting to eliminate his ruthless rival, Lord John, and has staked his credibility on a huge drug deal with the all-powerful Sam Gold. Jake visits Macha at his casino and humiliates him publicly in a game of chance. Macha fearing more of the same medicine sends his goons to "take care of" Jake. His life is saved by enigmatic Zach (Vincent Pastore) who, with his equally inscrutable partner Avi (André Benjamin), offers Jake protection. Against his better judgment, Jake accepts. He soon finds himself playing the very last game he wants to be playing, and there is danger at every turn. But the biggest danger of all comes from a totally unexpected source…

5.0 out of 5 stars Dont believe the bile, 5 April 2008
i watched this again on dvd last night and thought I'd throw my hat into the ring on this.
The reviews for Revolver in the UK were so bad, I did actually go and see this in the cinema. Now, I'm no fan of Mr Ritchies previous work (Lock Stock was OK, I hated Snatch, and Swept Away was a disaster), so I wasn't expecting much. What was clear after seeing the movie was that critics had panned the movie because... i don't know - it was his time for a kicking, he was 'Mr Madonna'? It's just a symptom of the mentality of the UK press, because there are so many movies worse than this that get such a better reception.

So why 5 stars from me? Revolver is beautifully (and creatively) shot, edited and directed, has great performances from Statham and Liotta and is constantly entertaining. But what elevates this is the fact that halfway through the movie (around about when Mr Green goes through, and comes back through, a car window), it stops being a gangster movie and enters Fight Club/ Memento territory, and you're left to make your own conclusions.... about existence and the game of life.

The lift scene, where Green battles against him self, is a stunning recreation of the mental dialogue, the inner enemy, that we all (largely unknowingly) battle every hour of the day. The cartoon attack on Lord Johns and Mecha's men, the restaurant shoot out - the movie is stuffed full of memorable scenes.

If you loved the straight gangster movies Ritchie has done before, you'll likely hate this (there were a number of walkouts at the showing I went to). If you want to see a film maker throw off the shackles of his previous work and create something as original as the films of Fincher or Stone or Lynch, give this a chance, but there are no easy answers. Bravo Mr Ritchie, I eagerly await your next release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolver, 24 Mar 2006
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
After reading the reviews, I decided to watch this; there can't be a bad Guy Ritchie film, can there? Revolver can be parallelled with The Usual Suspects, it is totally intrigueing and has so many twists and turns in the plot you dare not miss a minute. For me, the intrigue has to be there to keep me interested, but obviously the critics want a film they don't have to think about, with every answer dropped into their lap. Revolver is very thought provoking, but you must keep watching or you will become lost within those avenues and alleyways and the film will make no sense at all. As an amateur crime thriller fiction writer I would be proud if Revolver had been one of my titles - it's fascinating, and this is the reason why I enjoyed it so much. A copy of the DVD is worthwhile as you may need to watch it a second time, and this makes it value for money. And with so many of those twists and turns, you're not going to get bored even on a fifth or sixth viewing, because there's bound to be some titbit you missed before. This is my kind of movie, I enjoyed it immensely and even found myself thinking about it for a couple of days afterwards, wondering if I really had sussed everything out? There's nothing worse than a film (or book) which lays everything out on a plate for you, then next morning it's forgotten. Great! Keep 'em coming please, Mr. Ritchie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed this film!, 2 May 2006
If you like Tarentino style films, or you liked Sin City - then
you will like this - it was much better the second time I watched it - a cult movie - you will love it or hate it - I love it.
