Revolver
Hotshot gambler Jake Green is long on bravado and seriously short of common sense. Rarely is he allowed in any casino because he's a bona fide winner and, in fact, has taken so much money over the years that he's the sole client of his accountant elder brother, Billy. Invited to a private game, Jake is in fear of losing his life.

One of my all time favorites.
Absolutely the worst movie.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I don't even know where to start. The premise is a very interesting one, but the script is full of useless characters and stylistic flourishes that confuse and bewilder. At one point in the middle, I even thought I had perhaps taken acid by mistake. The sudden dive into flashes of hand-drawn animation are never explained or even justified. We are treated to endless, mind-numbing flashbacks, unexpectedly lacklustre acting by Andre 3000, the dialog (or voice over) is ofttimes cliche and tacked together, there are characters and plot lines that make no sense (though some are quite charming)... Basically, the script is terrible. There is no getting around it- despite valiant efforts from Liotta and Stratham.Visually it is VERY interesting, however. The decors are off the hook. The koreans are pretty amazing and every scene their boss is in- well freaking electric. There is this killer played by Mark Strong (I always have a soft spot for him) and this little girl who deserve a story all their own. This cannot save the weak ending, however, (par for the course) and the vague moral lacks punch and does the message a terrible disservice.
Guy Ritchie has made a stylish but incoherent film which at times is as fake as Jason Statham's wig and the green screened background.Statham plays Jake Green a gambler who spent some years in solitary confinement and is seeking revenge against casino owner Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta) who put him in jail.Jake was confined in a prison cell between two others, one was a chess master, the other a con man. They all planned to escape together but they escaped leaving Jake behind. Jake has learned a lot spending time between these two people and has learned of the formula that would bring him success in gambling which it does when he leaves prison.When Jake has a blackout he discovers he only has three days to live when he is approached by two loan sharks Zack (Vincent Pastore) and Avi (André Benjamin.) They offer him protection from a hit-man hired by Macha but in return they want Jake to give them all his money and not to question them why.Jake thinks all this might be a con and then their is the shadowy figure of Sam Gold who many people fear. Is Gold actually Jake or just a figment of his imagination?The film loses the plot by the end, it really is a confusing mess. The film adheres to some Kabbalah principles but it means nothing if you know little about Kabbalah.
Despite the all star cast. Jason Statham (One of My favorites) And IMDb suggestion it it is ''Crime,Action,Drama' ?????????????????????????????????????All I can say is that it was written by a smack head, produced by a smack head for an audience of Smack heads! No REAL story, No REAL attempt to tell a story, JUST RIP OFF the film goers, Thank God I never paid to watch this at a movie Theatre. Biggest load of crap EVER in the history of film. Yet the JEWS that wrote and produced this crap are out of their heads on smack from the money they earned!! If, Like Me you are a Statham fan AVOID this crap at ALL costs!!
As I wrote in the summary, "Revolver" is not about the gun, but about the action of revolving of one around one's self. This movie is a child of its time, trying to pass some really esoteristic messages thru the well-known entertaining style of the director, for the average viewer that gets something, to the more sophisticated "explorer" of "thyself". Not for the pseudo-intellectuals and all the bitter critics, that rate of one star such a movie, that brings the person in front of basic battle of all times: the battle of ourselves. This is I think the way one should point on this film, and not as mere and superficial entertainment. It is somehow a superficial entertainment with some very interesting messages making it not superficial at all. The way it ends it says everything. It reminds me somehow of the end of Jodorwskis Holy Mountain -something that has an indication of "hey, get out of that movie"... The ending song tells it all. It is all about that EGO of ours, and how to deal with it, and how it control our life. It is all beautifully given thru archetypical roles, that one should explore analyzing them. A movie for thinking. I was more than entertained, I was educated for a subject that few movies touch in our days, every one of them with its style. A very good snatch to watch.
