Watch Revolver Online.
Movie Title: Revolver Revolver is available for streaming or downloading. |
This movie is a completely different beast than ‘Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels’, and ‘Snatch’. I enjoyed both of those movies immensely. But Revolver is quite unique to any movie I have seen.

I actually saw this movie a few years ago. It was released in the UK and Europe in 2005 in theatres and DVD. I purchased a copy online. I wondered at the time why it hadn’t been released in the U.S.
Firstly, I cannot say much about the story, because I don’t want to give anything away. It’s that type of movie. Reminded me of the first time I saw ‘Fight Club’. I said, “what the f—?” But I knew I’d just witnessed something pretty awesome. Definitely a movie you have to see twice.

I would really emphasize that to anyone interested in this film. It REQUIRES multiple viewings. I figured the movie out midway through the second watch. But it took several viewings to fully understand. Also, seeing other reviewers on different sites when the movie originally came out, it was definitely those who watched it several times to understand it that fell in love with ‘Revolver’.
A warning here for some of you: lots of violence and blood and profanity. If that’s alright with you, the movie is a thrill to watch. It tries some different things that really worked for me. Excellent sound editing, with the gritty voice over by Jason Statham. The editing is frantic. I have to say, the Elevator Scene, you’ll know what I am referring to after viewing, is one of the most intense movie scenes I’ve ever seen.
That scene, and the finale. The final scene. In a word, INTENSE. This movie really goes out with a bang. One of my favorite all-time endings. Ray Liotta, fantastic. Great to see him with a top notch performance. Statham carries the movie. Also, Sorter, the hitman, really has a classic performance.
‘Revolver’ is filled with memorable scenes. They went out on a limb trying new things and it really paid off. Notably, the animated sequence is pretty cool. Dialogue: Unbelievable. Some of the things Jake (Statham) says in the voiceover, it’s just really great stuff. And I loved the way they worked the quotes into the movie.
I understand that it could be a frustrating and very confusing movie to many. Again, I would highly recommend multiple viewings. But this is no doubt a movie not to be liked by all. But some of you will love it as I did.
‘Revolver’ really demands your attention. It has a deep and cool message behind all of it. This movie is sure to be a cult classic. Give it 5-10 years and some people will see it for what it is. A masterpiece.
The final question you’ll be asking… Who is Sam Gold?
UPDATE March 21st, 2008: This review is actually for the UK version. I rented the US version tonight, because it is a great movie and I haven’t seen it in a while. Turns out, the movie has been changed quite drastically the US release.
The original ending, which is one of my all-time favorite endings (as noted in the review) is gone! The elevator scene, which happens near the 3/4’s mark in the original version, is part of the ending here. A few other parts were completely cut out.
I feel like they botched it. Reminds me of ‘Once Upon a Time in America’, where they released the ridiculously edited and cut version and it bombed. But the full length version of that film is a masterpiece.
My STRONG ADVICE: Forget about this one. Get an all-region dvd player and buy the Region 2 version on eBay for $20.
Guy Ritchie says he got into the film business because he always wanted to direct entertaining movies. And his latest crime thriller “Revolver” is exactly that. It’s heavily flawed and utterly ridiculous, but at least it’s entertaining. The story, confusing as it is, focuses on Jake Green (Jason Statham), a quick-witted gambler who puts his life on the line when he insults Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta), a powerful casino owner. After Macha orders his ruthless killers to take him out, Jake seeks shelter with two con men offering to protect him in return for his fortune.
“Revolver” is as chaotic as a massive shoot-out in which it’s nearly impossible to figure out who’s shooting whom. Ritchie’s script is a total, pseudo-philosophical mess, digging deep into the intricacies of the human ego. Ritchie also plays around with certain rules and formulas to pull off the ultimate con, but the whole game concept is ludicrously over the top. Meanwhile, the characters spend most of the time tossing around wise rules instead of delivering a coherent exchange of dialogue. “You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent” or “The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look” are just two of a horde of examples. The film also ends with a major twist, but if you haven’t lost track of things or even care enough to stay focused until the end, chances are you won’t be surprised.
I initially expected more from the actors, but they’re certainly not in their best shape. Jason Statham is always good at playing tough guys looking for trouble, and he’s undoubtedly the only cast member to put on a good show as Jake Green. Ray Liotta struggles in the role of malicious casino tyrant, but the only intimidating thing is his underwear. He really could’ve worn more clothes. As for Andre Benjamin and Vincent Pastore, their shallow performances almost go unnoticed.
On a more positive note however, “Revolver” is incredibly fast-paced and action-loaded. No matter how confusing or ludicrous the plot really is, the movie is stuffed with hot pursuits and crazy shoot-outs, captured stylishly by cinematographer Tim Maurice-Jones. In the end, despite the crippled script, Ritchie’s direction and vision give way for some extravagant but compelling sequences that will keep the entertainment boat afloat for 105 minutes. I recommend this flick to Ritchie fans who are glad he dumped “Swept Away” and returned to the action genre.
