Movie Review: Revolver

Long overdue, I’ve finally found some time to post a review of Revolver.  From the minds that brought you Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Revolver stars Jason Statham, Andre 3000, Vincent Pastore, and Ray Liotta. It’s a strong cast, and they perform their parts admirably.
