Editor Kim Sang-bum shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Whilst the concept behind Revolver is intriguing, the handling is simply put, off. The pace of this film is glacially slow, very much at odd's with what should be a fast paced action film. Any action that does take place is minimal and crammed into the later half of the film. Worse still, character development feels stunted, so its not as if, there's much in the way of a human interest story to compensate for the lack of exposition. In summary, in my estimation, a promising idea, let down by a mostly lackadaisical script and handling. A pass from me.
