Quote:
Revolver is a 2005 action thriller film co-written and directed by Guy Ritchie, and starring Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Vincent Pastore and André Benjamin. The film centres on a revenge-seeking confidence trickster whose weapon is a universal formula that guarantees victory to its user, when applied to any game or confidence trick.

This is the fourth feature film by Ritchie and his third to centre on crime and professional criminals, but also has a strong philosophy and Buddhist moral content. It was released in UK cinemas on 22 September 2005. It performed poorly at the box office and received negative reviews. A reworked version was released to a limited number of US theatres on 7 December 2007.

So this film wasn't well received it seems and to some extent I can see why, the story and characters are a bit odd and it's very much a film that emphasizes style. However, I love the style! It's Ritchie showcasing his talent and I very much appreciate his way of storytelling. I'm also a fan of Statham but I guess I have to say this was perhaps not the best role for him. The film excels with its action parts and it could probably have more it, as the story is a bit herky-jerky throughout and takes till the end to come whole. But Liotta is great in this, nails the part and despite the rest of the cast's shortcomings, Ritchie manages to cover it with how he's molded this ultimately and I like how it incorporates the psychology of the ego.

B+
