Revolver (2005)
In an unidentified city, cockney gangster and gambler Jake Green is released from prison after a seven year stretch in solitary confinement for an unspecified crime. Because of this, Jake developed claustrophobia: he becomes incredibly anxious in tight spaces and despises riding in elevators. Two years later, Jake and his brother Billy travel to a casino owned by Dorothy Macha, a gang boss involved in illegal gambling all over the city. Macha is responsible for ordering Green to commit the crime that resulted in his prison sentence. Though Billy is reluctant, the brothers have arrived to collect the debt that Green believes the gangster owes them. Macha promptly calls them up to a private area of his casino where a high rollers’ game is taking place. Jake bets Macha a fortune on a chip toss to one of the table’s players, and loses.
Manipulating Macha into a sense of false security, he makes the same bet with him, but this time, he wins. Humiliated, Macha orders his lieutenant to have Jake murdered. As Jake and his brothers leave the casino, a man hands Jake a card and tells him that he can help him. Jake’s phobia forces him to take the stairs. In the stairwell, Jake looks at the card and collapses, falling down the stairs. The card is revealed to read “Take the Elevator”. Jake is rushed to the hospital. The doctors report that they don’t know why he fainted, but inform him they will have the results in a few days. Later Jake arrives home, without Billy, where Macha’s assassin Sorter (Mark Strong) is waiting for him.
