Revolver Blu-ray
Sony Pictures | 2005 | 115 mins | Rated R | Nov 18, 2008
Revolver(2005)Crime | Mystery | Thriller     'Revolver' is populated with Guy Ritchie's ('Snatch'; 'Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels') classic breed of fast-talking, sharp-suited gangsters but with a psychological twist that your mind may not be able to handle. Jason Statham ('The Transporter' and 'Transporter 2') is Jake Green, a grifter who vows revenge against Macha (Ray Liotta, 'Goodfellas'), the ferocious crime boss who sent him to prison. After taking Macha down in a game of chance, Macha puts out a hit on Jake. Now, caught between a gun and a hard place, Jake finds himself protected by two vicious loan sharks (Vincent Pastore and Andre Benjamin) who make him an offer he can't refuse. For more details about Revolver on Blu-ray, see the Revolver Blu-ray Review Starring: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Vincent Pastore, André Benjamin, Terence Maynard Director: Guy Ritchie Revolver Blu-ray, Video Quality  Revolver shoots its way onto the Bluray format in a 1080p/AVC encode framed at a 2:35:1 aspect ratio that is unremarkable, too stylized, and a little mediocre when compared to the best images I have seen on the format. The source appears very strong, as there are no film related blemishes to be seen. Detail and clarity is pretty good in the foreground, but out of focus in the background most of the time. Colors vacillate between nicely saturated and strong, to weak and lacking in pop. Some scenes are too yellow or golden, and others are bathed in too much blue. This is especially so since Macha spends too much time in a sun tanning booth. Hues suffer the same fate, as they vacillate from non existent to fairly nice depending on scene. Blacks levels are weak, which tends to flatten the contrast as well. Grain is fine and consistent through out the film. Overall not bad, but not visually stimulating either. Revolver Blu-ray, Audio Quality Revolvers lossless 5.1 English Dolby TrueHD track, encoded at 24/48khz does an excellent job of supporting the visuals of this film, and conveying the mood of it as well. It can be aggressive at some points, and fairly subdued dimensionally at others. Ambience is strongly supported in some scenes via aggressive use of the surrounds. Listen to each time the characters are in the pool hall, or the gambling casino. You will here the sound of pool balls bouncing around placed in each of the main channels at various times, simulating the atmosphere of a real pool hall. The casino scenes feature the sounds of chips and chatter populated around the listening position in a very effective way. The LFE channel is used aggressively to support gun shots, Slammed doors, and walls coming down. Dialog is a mixed bag, with the general scene dialog quite clear and clean, while Statham’s narration sounds like there is close mike cancellation in the midrange, and boundary reinforcement in the lower frequencies making his voice hollow, and bass heavy through my center channel. The mix is interesting and contributed heavily in making this movie bearable to watch.
