Watch Roulette For Free

Why so much hype?

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

On the surface, "Roulette" sounds very intriguing: three people at the end of their ropes sit alone in a dark room playing Russian roulette, some half-heartedly, some with no fear of dying whatsoever. During the session, we flashback to what events got them to this room at this time in their lives. The flashbacks are even round-robined, which helps the film's pace.Unfortunately this film has, what I believe to be, the worst cast assembled for an indie film in quite some time. I understand how limited the budget is for films such as this, but there are talented people available in even the smallest cities. The casting directors for this film had little to no experience and it shows. Of course, I ultimately blame the director, who should have either waited to find better actors, given better or more direction, or just pulled the plug.Few of the actors cast in lead roles here had anything but background experience and that's painfully obvious as well, the worst case being Michelle Murad's Zoe whose line readings are either irritatingly dippy sing-song or shrill shrieking. NONE of the three protagonists are well cast and therefore range from unlikable to laughable. Ali Lukowski works her facial muscles so stridently in order to (I guess) relay her character's sexual repression that she makes Sunny an ideal caricature for SNL (Right to life Girl?).All of it makes Roulette an extremely hard film to sit through and tolerate. In the end, if you're not careful, you might be the one who ends up pulling the trigger.

I rated Roulette a 10 out of 10 because I think it was truly well done: from the script to the acting. Though it is not without its flaws, I feel that detailing them here would do a great disservice to the film itself and to potential viewers, as they are not of the sort that really detract from one's immersion into the story being told.In addition, I don't rate or judge any other movie on the basis of the flaws I can spot afterward or even during the movie, but rather on how well it kept me entertained (and by entertained I also mean story immersion, was it thought provoking, etc., as well as the fluffier things the word would normally invoke). So why should I do anything different for Roulette? I think indie movies are often viewed through a harsher lens than those Hollywood produces, which is rather backwards in my opinion.Though not my preferred type of movie, I still found Roulette to be a gripping and interesting tale. As I mention in the summary, it is not for the faint of heart and I would recommend having a stiff drink on hand during the viewing. I certainly felt the need for one about halfway through the movie and by the end was very glad I had, in fact, poured myself one.

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 had the opportunity to see this film in the theater as part of the movie's premiere. The movie certainly keeps you engaged as you learn about each of the characters and how they got to where they are. The script was well written and really gave you an understanding of the characters, to the point where you could empathize with them or hate them. The tension in the movie kept building and building and then near the end it was a strong release of tension. This movie will certainly put you on the edge of your seat.Acting: While the actors are not well known, they all did an excellent job portraying their characters. I ended up not caring that they were not big name actors, but what they did was at the big name level.Directing: The director obviously took a lot of time and effort in the direction and development of the actors to get great performances out of them.Production quality: the soundtrack was well done and helped keep you in the movie. The quality was very good with good coloring and lighting. Sound quality was very good and seemed to be mastered professionally.After the premiere the cast/crew and director were available for questions and discussion. There was a lot of interaction from the crowd as they were really excited by the film. The cast/crew were very professional and discussed what it took to make the movie and how they felt about their acting.When we were told about the budget (very very low), we were surprised as it had the quality of a mid range budget film (which I would have expected to be in the $1M-5M range.This movie is definitely worth watching, you may watch it more than one time. I will definitely watch movies produced by this crew and wish them the best of luck and success.note: I had no part in this movie other than watching it as a premiere. You can look me up on IMDb or Facebook and see I am not part of the credits. Anyways the cast/crew did a great job on this movie and it is a lot more interesting than most Hollywood movies - get over the 3D crap or sharks in a tornado - that stuff sucks. You can call my review fake or say I am the shameless producer, I'll take credit for this film and add it to my IMDb. It is a well done independent film and I appreciated the level of effort the cast and crew put into it.
