Director Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels) brings you this no holds barred urban, crime-thriller featuring an all-star cast of gangster movie icons including Jason Statham (London, Collateral), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, John Q), Vincent Pastore (Made, TV's The Sopranos) and Outkast's André Benjamin (Idlewild, Four Brothers). Jake Green is a hotshot gambler, long on audacity and short on common sense. He's rarely allowed to play in any casino because he is a winner and has taken in so much money over the years. He is the only client of his accountant and older brother Billy. One night, Jake, Billy and their other brother Joe are invited to sit in on a private game, where Jake is expected to lose to Dorothy Macha, a crime boss and local casino owner who can't play for squat, but always wins because people are too scared to beat him. Jake isn't afraid of Macha, and not only beats Dorothy in a quick game of chance, but takes every possible opportunity to insult the man. Jake and his brothers leave the game, and Macha puts out the order for a hit on Jake, who ends up working for and being protected by a pair of brothers, Avi and Zack, who are out to take Macha down.

Mr. Gold, Mr. Green and the usual suspects, with a little Mamet thrown in

Hip, with it, thought-provoking, Guy Ritchie does it again! Loved everybody in it, every scene was a gem, more power to this great director and great cast. I'd see any film he makes.

I love this movie!

This is a wonderful movie. It's complex and you need to follow and will probably have to watch mulitple times. Honestly I didn't know who Green was talking to in the elevator until after a second veiwing. Give it a chance, if you like it cool, if not that's cool too.

Great Re-Play Value

Don't you love movies that you're ready to watch again immediately after you've just finished it? I do, and Revolver is one of those films.

Guy Ritchie brings back his favorite star Jason Statham for his latest flick, which is in no way comparable to "Snatch" or "LS&TSB". Meaning not that it's a bad movie, but that Ritchie has the balls to not recycle his own material to resurrect his career. And thankfully so! Revolver plays a dream from a drug induced coma that you don't want to end, but when it does, you really, really wish you knew what just happened. Hence the high re-play value.

Did I mention the supporting cast? Well, it's certainly worth mentioning. Ray Liotta is powerful and convincing, a great casting decision considering that IMHO no else could have pulled off some of those self deprecating scenes that he exceled in. And who would have thought that Andre 3000 can actually act? Throw in Big Pussie, and we've got ourselves quite an ensemble.

The film does take itself a bit too seriously sometimes, and tends to over-philosophize abstract concepts without directly addressing the specific, but not so much that it's distracting or value detracting.

Bottom Line: Great re-play value, good with drugs!
