Absolutely the worst movie.

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Roulette was a fantastic example of a successful micro-budget Indie Film. The overall story was crafted almost flawlessly in the respect that it payed great attention to detail. The story had such complexity to it that makes it well worth the watch. It was bold and edgy in just what it would show and yet never overdid itself. The performances were, at times, very strong and convincing. The shot composition overall was nice and made ease to understanding the action. Some of the ADR gave a slight weakness to some of the actions, but that never deterred me from the storyline. There is no such thing as a perfect film, and it can be very hard to accomplish what the crew did, and I believe they did an excellent job. To wrap things all up, I would definitely recommend this film.

I have long enjoyed reading the reviews on IMDb, but never wrote one before. But after watching this movie and reading the reviews associated with it, I could not help myself. To start, anyone who says the acting in this film is anything more than decent is also probably wondering why Tara Reid hasn't yet won a Golden Globe. Either that or they drink more than the alcoholic in this film. There is a semi-interesting story line and I will hand it to the ending being good, but certainly not worth watching this boring movie. I can think of at least three occasions where I considered turning it off altogether. I love low-budget films and usually choose those over anything mainstream, but this movie is a disaster.

I was lucky enough to be the first Australian to see this movie and I can easily say that it BLEW ME AWAY! (no pun intended ). Roulette is an extremely well written and very clever picture! Each individual story in the movie had twists and turns that I had not predicted. Then comes the end !!!!! There are few movies that I have seen that I am able to honestly say had me physically sitting on the edge of my seat, leaning forward, unblinking, completely engaged in the movie and Roulette achieved this. The cast and crew of this movie all put their best foot forward and created a movie that leaves you in an agonizing suspense. Brilliant.I have wasted so much time watching terrible Hollywood movies before that I wish to thank 'Roulette' for adding quality to 113 minutes of my life. It is THAT good!

I was one the couple hundred people invited/arrived to the sneak preview of "Roulette" at the Charles theater in Baltimore on Nov. 17, 2010. And I would say overall if was well worth it.Now to be perfectly truthful, my main issue with the whole evening was the wait for the film to start. Due to technical issues at the screening, the film was delayed from airing by about two hours. However this is par for the course when it comes to indy screenings. (I've experienced this personally with 5 out of the 7 screenings of my own last indy short having some kind of technical issue.) I bring up this point because I believe the way the film ended up being shown that night caused some minor issues.The film does have a lot going for it. It looks great and this is no small feat for independent film. You could really tell by the quality the time, hard work, and effort that was put into the behind scenes. If anyone is interested I believe there is a video on youtube about the making of Roulette called I think Luck of the Draw. We were given a sneak peak at a two-minute preview of that as well that was also enjoyable. I am not sure what they shot the movie on but images look great. This film has been in production since 2008 and crew deserves a ton of props for the work they did.As for acting it is hard to get any real talent to do films without a big Hollywood budget. This time however Roulette has pulled off getting some high end performances. I personally really liked the supporting cast namely Jan-David Soutar as Sunny's boyfriend and Michelle Murad made up a good supporting cast. As for the three lead characters I thought Mike Baldwin was good and Ali Lukowski was also very good at points. The story which by the way is always most important part of any film is right up my alley. It is very dark and extremely dark toward the end. It has a good twist ending and director/writer Erik Myers manages to do the twist in the right way, which will make most audience enjoy it. There are couple lines that I could live without but overall it is tight script that was directed well. I would of done the very end a little different myself but that is personal choice.The story basic is this; three random people whom all have had some kind of hardship in their lives leave a group meeting for people considering suicide. They go back to the ones house and start a Roulette style drinking game. That game leads to a real game of Roulette, where we began to learn more about the three main characters though what appears to be flash backs. Though these well-placed flashbacks you begin to discover who these people really are and what has brought them to this point. Also you learn that all three of their lives are intertwined which leads to the above mentioned twist ending.Since I am in the biz myself I did notice a couple small things that as said above I believe is due to the way the film was shown. Some of the audio mix seemed off in volume and there are a couple of spots where white/color balance seems off as well. Now being an editor myself I would have suggest a couple different cuts here and there too, but nothing of the above mention issues are enough to take the regular viewer out of the movie. Overall I am rating this movie 9 out 10 and if you are fan of indies this movie should be on you list to see in 2010. I also expect this film to do very well in the festival market. I am so glad to see a fellow Towson alumni out there doing there best in this industry.I am by far not a professional reviewer, and I believe this to be only my 3 or 4th review on IMDb. So please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes on my end.
