There's a film. I can't remember what film it is. An early scene involves Our Protagonist (possibly Our Villain?) getting the old crew back together, IIRC a criminal crew. He's calling them on the phone.

Cut to an older man (50s-70s), double-chinned, balding, sitting in a trailer home. IIRC the actor is not famous, but he's the kind of character actor I recognise as being That Guy from That Movie.

He has 6 identical revolvers on a table. He puts one bullet in one chamber one of them. He puts the revolvers in a sack, shakes them up, reaches in, pulls out a revolver, spins the chamber, puts it up against his temple and pulls the trigger. Click, no fire.

He puts the gun back in the sack, shakes it up, pulls out a new gun, spins the chamber, puts it against his temple, and his phone rings.

He answers the phone, it's Our Protagonist. The old man playing Russian Roulette still has the gun to his own head, and says "Oh, not much. I'm not busy..... a job? Sure!" or something very like that, before putting the gun down.

I can't remember what movie this is from.

WHAT MOVIE IS IT?

A valuable no-prize to the first person to find it!

I'm on garbage internet here, so I can't exactly check, but a little googling suggests it might be The Way of the Gun? Directs me to this clip:

The only hit I'm getting is The Way of the Gun, which does have an (interrupted) Russian Roulette variant involving six revolvers in a pillowcase according to All The Tropes. I've never seen this film.

How long since you last saw it? Because I saw this movie in approx 2001 and there's no way I could have remembered the scene...

It's 2000's Way Of The Gun, and I think I last saw it in 2004-ish.
