Revolver - starring Jason Statham, directed by Guy Ritchie of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/Snatch/RocknRolla fame.
First things first, this is a pretentious movie. Secondly, if you are not familiar with the movie's genuine message, then you may be left wondering what the hell this film is about (for example many people who watch it claim it's a movie about chess, but it's not, although chess and the philosophy of chess do feature heavily).
I enjoyed it immensely however. Indeed it's become my favourite Guy Ritchie movie. But I reckon it's a love it or hate it kinda film.
I don't wanna say too much incase of spoilers, but it's basically a philosophical/spiritual movie masquerading as a typical violent, gangsta flick.
