Revolver

Gambler and grifter Jason Statham leaves prison vowing revenge on the crime boss (Ray Liotta) who sent him up, but gets sidetracked by a pair of enigmatic loan sharks (Vincent Pastore and André Benjamin), a rare blood disease, and an offer he can't refuse. Or, for that matter, even grasp. That makes us even. "Revolver" looks like a gritty gangster thriller and plays like "The Matrix" with an incoherent stream of spacey psychobabble. Give Guy Ritchie credit for directing the self-indulgent mind games with such confidence, and Liotta for keeping a straight face (or is it just numb?) through it all. By the time it's over, the metaphysical revenge story dissolves into the ether, like the hazy memory of a late-night bull session over too many drinks. Features commentary by Ritchie, the featurettes "The Game: The Making of Revolver" and "The Concept" (which might help you get a grip on the tough-guy metaphysics ... or not), and deleted scenes and outtakes.
