Revolver is a flawed masterpiece. It is too opaque for mainstream action audiences and too violent for art-house crowds. However, viewed through the lens of its 2005 context (post-9/11 anxiety, the rise of reality TV narcissism), it is a prescient warning about the toxicity of the self. The Gala release, despite being a modest 999MB x265 encode, preserves the film’s oppressive atmosphere. Ultimately, Revolver asks a question most action films ignore: What happens to the hero when he runs out of enemies? Ritchie’s answer is terrifying—he must turn the gun on himself.
