Revolver

This is so great take time to watch it. Don’t miss anything that is so important.

This movie was definitely worth a look, being a unique film that's explicitly about the human ego. Refreshing and honest. Probably Ray Liotta's best work.

I'm not a big movie fan. At first I was expecting another gangster movie, not really my thing. I've never even heard of Guy Ritchie. By looking at the cover of the DVD I had low hopes for the movie. I'm glad the movie didn't meet my expectations.I agree with most reviews in that the movie was edited in an incoherent way. The commentary said that it's Guy Ritchie's style. In this case I believe his style got in the way of his art. A good movie is a story that brings the watcher into that world. The only way I can explain it is that about half way in the movie the time sequences got mixed up and the story became hard to follow. Instead of experiencing the fantasy of the story, I had to step out of the movie. In my opinion it is not a good way to keep an audience. The last quarter goes back to the original style of the movie but the viewer is left expecting more screwed up editing. I imagine that this may be why people are confused when they get to the elevator scene.The elevator scene is the best scene in the movie. It's when Jake realizes that he is being conned by his own ego. For me, this is the zenith of the movie. If your confused when you watch it, just remember that when Jake's hair is nice then that's the real Jake, when his hair is messed up then that's his ego. We live in a world where we think we are our ego because our ego pretends to be us. You have to pay attention to perceive the differences.It would have been nice to see more of Dorothy and his thought (ego) process as it compares to Jake's. Also Mr. Gold could have been more clearly defined as a king ego, or an ego based imaginary person created by Walker (who could have been another master con man). The thing I would have like to seen most is a greater expound of the con man rules. To verbalize the con mans subconscious tactics. This was the greatest asset of the movie and I have yet to find a movie or book that does it so well.In would normally give this movie 1 star. The poor quality of editing makes me question if it would even get that. The only reason I give this movie 5 stars is because it is the only movie I have EVER seen that delves into the ego. Until now I didn't know how closely related the con man was to spiritual enlightenment. It really put a lot of pieces together for me. And because of this movie I'm starting to see how the ego affects every aspect of our life, IT'S EVERYWHERE!! However, this movie REALLY needs to be redone. If a reedited version of the movie (with out the torture) was released then I'm sure it would become a cult classic over night, it`s that good.Anyway, if your looking for something that will make you think this is the movie. If the subconscious mind is not your thing then you should pass.

I was a big fan of Snatch, Lock Stock and the like. If you go into this thinking your getting an action film or some kind of Guy Ritchie norm then you will most likely walk away confused and/or disappointed. The story is more of a psychological thought provoking...thriller I guess I'd say?The main story is about Jake Green/Statham, his release from jail and his involvement with a couple of con artists that he works his way in with in a very interesting tale. The visuals are cool and dramatic in Guy ritchie fashion, there is some shooting and action but it's more so a talking type film. Ray Liotta in my opinion has a great performance and the whole cast was perfect for this film.Supposedly Ritchie wrote most of the story having a ton of Kabbalah references built into it, me not being a follower of the Kabbalah still loved this film. I love trying to figure out why things were how they were and what was going on. You eventually can piece everything together and argue amongst friends for your own conclusions. I will say I have one gripe however, the UK release had a few different parts and a much different ending. Supposedly the US release was dumbed down because people were angry about the movie in the UK and they felt cutting the movie up would make it more accessible. I disagree. The original UK cut was amazing, this one is good but not as good due to the ending being changed primarily.I would love to buy this on Blu-Ray and upgrade it from my DVD, but will not be doing so until a UK cut gets released here in the states.Grade Rating: A+ (If you like psychological films with hidden meanings) Otherwise, don't bother...*Updated 3/3/11* - I did break down and buy this on Blu Ray due to my love for this movie, sadly I was right and it is still the U.S. cut of the film. It looks and sounds gorgeous however if you are a fan of the film. Now just to get the UK cut released in the states ;)*Updated 2/2/12* - After finding out the German version was region free and uncut I decided to re-order it on Ebay. As soon as it arrives and I watch it I will update this section. It's about double what the U.S. release is price wise, but in my opinion the edits on the U.S. version kind of mess up the film a bit.*Updates 8/29/12* - The German Blu-Ray is amazing! However it has two downfalls, the scenes with Lord John (who only speaks Chinese through out the film) all come up with German subtitles. And the little scenes between the movie with the quotes are also in German.So that takes a bit away from the story, but is still a better version than the U.S. edition. I really hope to get a stateside release of the Director's Cut eventually, as it is the definitive version. =)

Ego is the true devil. You can’t kill it but you can appease it, but then it’s only doing it’s job. It believes it protecting you, which it is… it can hold you back also… Do yourself a favor and watch this.

The movie in it's original un-reformatted (netflix) state is a GREAT movie. Edgy, stimulating, enlightening and much easier to follow. This version goes well until it is 3/4th done. Then you can't tell what the heck is going on. Scenes were resequenced or taken out to confuse and confound. Our satanic run media wouldn't allow it to be aired on TV (Showtime) without these amendments for they feared the masses would become enlightened and rebel against their programming.The acting, and I loathe actors, is riveting and top notch. The story line is amazing. The tension displayed is the best since Payback.The movies is about the devil. Who he is, what and how he controls and where he hides. It has quotes form Julius Caesar, Art of War and Machiavelli that explain the action behind the action we are watching. Religion is nobilized and spiritually constituted as a virtue. But this theme strikes at the very perverted atheist heart of Hollywood and of their power over the masses so it was recut and reformatted to mean nothing at the end. To even distance the movie from its intended theme further this gut has a bunch of 'psychotherapists/philosophers, etc' thrown in at the end to dismiss that there is even a devil thus affirming what the movie was actually about.

Brought this because I'd recently watched Rock n Rolla and I love Lock, stock and two smoking barrels but it was nothing like them.I must have sat through an hour and a half before I started fast forwarding to the end just so I wouldn't have to watch it any more.Just terrible, don't waste your money

brief synopsis:Gambler Jake Green enters into a game with potentially deadly consequences. This is packed with head games and a blend of intellectual cunning and snobbery. Either you'll figure it out or you won't, or you'll love it or be bored because you don't get it. I loved it, my nephew hated it. The fact that Jason Statham is in it doesn't hurt either!it was delivered quickly.

Still not sure what the plot or point of this film was.I am a big Guy Ritchie fan but this was not a good movie in any aspect.

Item arrived before the expected date. It is in almost new condition and the price was amazing. Very happy with this purchase.

This one of Jason stat hams best films
