It’s not a bloody revenge story. Revolver is rather a film that strives to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. Police officer Ha Su-yeong (Jeon Do-yeon) served a two-year sentence for being involved in corruption. She agreed to take all the blame in exchange for a large compensation but ends up with nothing. Su-yeong follows the trails of those involved in the case to get her promised payment, with a revolver in her hand. Revolver may seem similar to Director Oh Seung-uk’s previous works like The Shameless (2015), but it takes a completely different path. This film, which at first glance appears to wear the skin of a hardboiled crime noir, focuses solely on the movements of a character moving straight ahead, instead of relying on complex conspiracies, sensational action, or dramatic shocks. It can be described as a journey of a person who has lost everything and becomes shabby, yet ultimately maintains their dignity. An ambitious work that reflects Director Oh Seung-uk’s artistic deliberation and determination. (SONG Kyung-won)
