The Stinking Gun

Revolver, Guy Ritchie’s long-delayed latest movie, finally opened last Friday – and you know what…it shouldn’t have.

I guess when you’re thrown a hot-ticket premiere in New York City that your wife Madonna’s co-hosting you either open the movie or you open the movie.

Revolver stars Jason Statham as Jake Green, a master thief and gambler who enters into a game with potentially deadly consequences. It co-stars Ray Liotta as his nemesis, the unfortunately named Dorothy Macha, and André “André 3000” Benjamin and Vincent Pastore (HBO’s The Sopranos) as his mysterious allies.

The plot is a complicated mess that I won’t get into because, well…because the movie probably will leave theaters rather soon, and, I’m sure, because you’re not making plans to see the darn movie, anyway.

Just know that Revolver is about a man conquering his ego or something like that. I can’t be sure. And what’s worse, it doesn’t matter.

The only fun part of it was playing the Madonna Could’ve Played That Part game. Hey, at least Swept Away isn’t looking so bad now.
