REVOLVER

Under discussion:

Revolver  (2005)

I have to admit that Guy Ritchie surprised me.  The trailer for this was created to bring in the "I want stylized bloody warfare" crowd.  But Revolver is actually smarter than that.  Call me crazy, but I think Guy Ritchie made a smart movie. 

Watch the credits all the way through to get a little insight into the basic premise.  The human mind is capable of so much, but at what point does the subconscience fool a person into mixing reality with perception?  And even more, is mankind born evil or good?  Revolver assumes people can be basically good and that evil actions are really just the result of egos.  Which is funny because I would argue that mankind's natural ego is evidence that we're born flawed. 

Anyway, check this one out.  If you don't want to get heady -- just enjoy the fun camera work and 'splosions.
