aside from a few title and the new sherlock holmes movie and i think i have watch every movie guy ritchie have direct . twice . needless to say and i be a big fan and revolver be one of the highlighted reason why . this movie be a very different approach from ritchie and when you look at it comparatively with lock and stock . and snatch . revolver set u up for a psychological thriller of sort a a gamble con find himself at the mercy of a set of foe he do not expect and a guided walk for redemption that he do not know he need . along with see andré benjamin of outkast fame strut his acting ability and other standout act be ray liotta play the maniacal mr. d or macha and mark strong playing sorter and the hit man . after be send to prison by a tyrannous casino owner and macha and jake use his time in solitary to finesse a plot to humiliate macha and force his hand in compensate him for the seven year he spend . when he win a card game and amass a decent sum from macha and jake find himself on the brink of death a he collapse and be diagnose with an incurable disease that leave him with three day to live . a team of loan shark and however and have an answer for him and a ticket to life only if he give them all the money he have and relents to work for them and all in a ploy to both take macha down and show jake how dangerous he have make himself to himself . along with have the air of death loom and and a pair of loan shark have a field day with his money and jake also have to deal with have a hit put out on him and which introduce sorter a hit man under macha employ . the depth with the story come when jake realize that some co convict he spend time with in solitary may very well be the loan shark team out to take him for all he have by craft all of the unfortunate event that jake seem to find his way into . when face with this reality though and zack ( vincent pastore ) and avi show jake just how twisted he have become from be in solitary and have only the company of his mind and his ego then make it so that their actual existence be elusive even to jake . the movie unravels to a humbling process for both jake and macha a they both come to grip with their inner demon . the style of the movie be top notch a you get the gritty feel of the crime world represent and the character it include . although a lot of nod at ritchie previous film be here it still have a presence of it own from the dialogue and the set and the experimental take on the gangster genre . it also a great trip on humility and recognize when you can easily let your ego or a preset notion mask you ability to accomplish what you want or overcome what you should . the character be well craft in this movie with all side be flesh out and and true to ritchie fashion and theyre all tie in by some underhandedness that throw a wrench in everyone affair . i could and would like to go on about this film and it unique nuance but i do not want to take too much away from it if you haven not see it yet . it may take a few sitting to get through all the intricate layer but it a great movie and it should be see . if youre lucky and you haven not see the water down u release and see if you can get the original uk version a it will make for a great discussion piece among friend a you try to puzzle in your take . i saw it with my crew around early 2006 and be still talk about it with little thing we have pick up on today . it have garner it cult status and and it well deserve a the film where ritchie step out the box and break his norm a bit . standout line represent fear or revere me and but please and think i be special . we share an addiction . be approval junky .
