Anyone seen the 2005 Jason Statham flick, Revolver ? Seems like a good cast, great director. Any insight/reviews? Cheers,

i imported the DVD from the UK years ago but never watched it. I heard it was a mess to follow.

Great movie, I really liked it. But, don't watch the US version it's garbage compared to the UK version. Haven't seen it on Blu yet.

i also got the uk version. it isn't your usual jason statham movie. it makes you think and is a little off, kehe... but not a bad movie. again, just not what you'd expect from statham.

I rented this when it first came out and I have to say, it wasn't very good...at all.

I would have expected something far better from Guy Ritchie and Luc Besson, and it wasn't nearly of the same calibur as Lock Stock, Snatch, or even Rock-n-Rolla.

Big disappointment. I recommend a rental.

Now you got me wanting to see the UK version

So, I wonder if the blu ray is the US version of the UK version of the story ?

I agree. This movie was no Lock/Stock nor Snatch. It had some cool cinematic moments, too much of a head fcuk. I also don't think Andre 3000 held snuff. I bought used DVD b/c same price as renting. DVD looks good through 1080p convert but I would rather spend my money on a different blu instead of this one on blu.

Does anyone know the difference between the UK and the US verson?

Kris Deering · 12-12-2008, 03:57 PM

Different ending. The US version ends after the elevator sequence and has some brief comments from some "people". The UK ending continues on after that sequence and has a ending that is up for interpretation in a lot of ways, hence the wide division in opinion on the film.

How many versions are there of this movie ? Three ? The original cut, the US cut and the Director's Cut ?

I got the Swedish Blu-Ray, which is labeled 'Director's Cut'. It runs 106 minutes. I also have the Japanese Blu-Ray, which runs 115 minutes.

The US Blu-Ray by Sony is said to have a running-time of 104 minutes. Now, do anyone know if this is the same as the so-called Director's Cut ? or is this a different cut made for US audience after the movie tanked at the boxoffice in Europe.. ?

I think the US Cut and "Directors Cut" are the same thing. The only cut that's actually somewhat decent is the original release cut.
