The film 'Revolver' has received rave reviews from fellow actors and directors.

'Revolver' tells the story of Soo-young (Jeon Do-yeon), a former police officer who was imprisoned for crimes she didn't commit. After her release, she pursues a single goal with unwavering determination. The film has garnered positive reviews from industry peers, further boosting its word-of-mouth momentum.

Director Kim Sung-soo of 'Spring in Seoul,' which attracted 13.12 million viewers, praised the film, saying, "A parade of characters, Director Oh Seung-wook and Jeon Do-yeon, elegant cinematography and editing, heart-piercing music—'Revolver' has everything that makes a film captivating." Director Hur Jin-ho, known for his delicate direction in films like 'The Last Princess,' 'One Fine Spring Day,' and 'Christmas in August,' described it as "a new and charming black comedy that only Director Oh Seung-wook could create."

Director Lee Jong-pil, who successfully opened the summer box office with 'Escape,' commented, "'Revolver' uses its elements in a way even Chekhov would approve of. It doesn't pretend to be fun, which makes it genuinely entertaining." Director Lee Hae-young, known for his stylish mise-en-scène in films like 'Phantom' and 'Believer,' said, "The characters, deeply embedded in the genre, linger long after the film ends. Jeon Do-yeon's solo scenes, where she grits her teeth, are so impressive that I found myself doing the same. It's a film you want to root for, gritting your teeth in support."

Director Ryu Seung-wan, who showed deep affection for 'Revolver' by participating in a Mega Talk session, said, "'Revolver' is a film that gets even better on a second viewing. Audiences will discover much more and find deeper enjoyment if they watch it again."

Kim Nam-gil added, "'Revolver' is a film with the virtue of space, where actors freely come and go within the frame. Director Oh Seung-wook is an artist whose works gain richer fragrance over time."

Jo Woo-jin said, "Time flies while watching the performances," and Noh Yoon-seo commented, "The best actors throw the ball to each other, showcasing fantastic acting! The persistent determination on their dry faces leads to a calm yet heavy final shot." Jo Yi-hyun added, "I was captivated by the characters' breaths and gazes, unable to escape.
