Revolver (2024)

Revolver with misfired bullets

An extremely classy looking loot revenge crime thriller that was made up of 100% pure melodrama without any action sequence. Despite its stylish appearance and full of dark conspiracy threats, the storyline never really takes off into anything worthy, it didn't had enough pressure or stakes to make it intimidating, and the side characters are mostly useless for the story. At the end the mission seems easily fulfilled without shock ending or huge fights, after all the extended buildups it turns out to just be an underdeveloped arthouse film that only feels like a revolver with misfired bullets.

Revolver missed the target

The movie left me wanting more. There are things that I like and also don’t but overall it was an “okay-ish” movie in my opinion. Words is not needed for Jeon Doyeon and Lim Jiyeon, you just know they will slay. Madam Jeong is definitely a scene stealer. Lee Jung Jae and Jeon Hye Jin cameos is impactful, they brought mystery to the story. Their cameos could lead to more depth potential about the buildup but sadly it went stagnant. What I hope they can actually change is the villain’s “script”. Andy literally just kept cursing soooo. He also felt like a weak villain that I could crush anytime so i’m not scared at all. He redeemed himself towards the end so it was back to good. Still, I finished this movie, just don’t know if I will watch it again sometimes soon. I applaud Sooyoung for going after what she wants without stopping. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea. 7.5/10
