Revolver: Calling the Shots (2002 Video) User Reviews

simply average, good bits about Oliver Reed though

[movieman_kev · 5/10 · 12 May 2005]

This 13 and a half minute Gary Hertz directed featurette is spoiler heavy so I'd advise you watch it AFTER you watch the movie proper. It features Director Sergio Sollima and actor Fabio Testi, they each reflect on the late Oliver Reed, Ennio Morricone, and their respective remembrance of the film in general. This featurette was merely OK, nothing special nor anything bad. Personally, my favorite part was the remembrance of Oliver Reed as I'm fascinated by the late great actor. At 13 and a half minutes the featurette is one of the shorter so I'd recommend at least one viewing of it after you watch "Revolver"

My Grade: C

Keeping Reed in Tact

Revolver: Calling the Shots (2002)

*** (out of 4)

This fourteen minute featurette has interviews with Sergio Sollima and Fabio Testi as they discuss their involvement with the 1973 crime drama REVOLVER. Sollima talks about how he got the directing job and then a lot of the running time is devoted to the two men talking about Oliver Reed. The two talk about his love for alcohol and how it would eventually change him over the course of a shooting day. There are some really wonderful stories told about Reed that fans of the actor should enjoy. Testi also talks about the moral of the ending and his thoughts on playing this type of character. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but it's a good featurette for fans of the film.
