Revolver - Special Edition UK DVD

A dark and graphic gangster thriller, Revolver is sleek and edgy and filled with cryptic observations about the rules of the game, strategies for survival, codes of honour and how to fool your opponents. Revolver is populated with the same breed of fast-talking, sharp-suited criminal that entertained so many of us in Lock, Stock and Snatch, but taken to another level.

Gambler and conman Jake Green (Jason Statham) always ran with a bad crowd and it cost him seven years of his life when he took the rap for mean Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta) and wound up in jail. After his release, Jake becomes unbeatable at the tables using a formula for the ultimate con that he learned from two mysterious fellow prisoners. Now he is ready to take his revenge. Macha is plotting to eliminate his ruthless rival, Lord John, and has staked his credibility on a huge drug deal with the all-powerful Sam Gold. Jake visits Macha at his casino and humiliates him publicly in a game of chance. Macha fearing more of the same medicine sends his goons to "take care of" Jake. His life is saved by enigmatic Zach (Vincent Pastore) who, with his equally inscrutable partner Avi (André Benjamin), offers Jake protection. Against his better judgment, Jake accepts. He soon finds himself playing the very last game he wants to be playing, and there is danger at every turn. But the biggest danger of all comes from a totally unexpected source

With an all-star cast of gangster movie icons including Jason Statham (The Italian Job, The Transporter), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) and Vincent Pastore (Goodfellas, The Sopranos), the film also boasts an excellent performance from Outkast's Andre Benjamin.
