ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

vegicat I don't know who wrote that initial glowing review, but I blame them personally for the excruciatingly painful 17 minutes I suffered in watching this film. 17 minutes was as long as I could take the torture.Poorly written, poorly directed, idiotically stilted dialogue recited by insanely talentless actors. It didn't help that it seems they worked hard to only cast annoying, over-acting actresses with screeching voices. Massively amateur, and not in a good way. The plot is filled with every stereotypical relationship/scenario. Whiny women and angsty boy-men. I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish with the weird coloring... half the shots are a weird monochrome pinkish-red, others are some drab sepia with random pops of colored objects. It reminded me of those really unappealing color-separated photos of food in old 1950s magazines.Avoid this movie at all costs!

SilverSurferLS419 I don't write reviews of films frequently, but this low budget indie film really kept me in suspense in a way that no other film has. I had difficulty at first understanding the coloring of the roulette game, but appreciated that detail as the film progressed. What really compelled me to write a review was the beautifully layered and twisted storytelling. Fully fleshed out multi-faceted characters played by several talented actors added to the charm of this film. The haunting score added to the emotional impact of a very unexpected finale. If you've started this film and have difficulty like I did with the first scene, stay with it. You won't regret getting tangled in this mind-bending plot.

marshallever 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.

msk0285 I also attended the premier of "Roulette" on Tuesday, November 16.Now - keep in mind that the film was still not entirely polished, and the audio mix was still incomplete. Regaurdless, the film itself - the acting, cinematography, and story were Grade A, top-notch.The story is set around 3 main characters: Dean Jensen (Mike Baldwin), Richard Kessler (Will Haza), and Sunny Howard (Ali Lukowski). They meet at a support group for suicidal people who have dealt with some type of hardship in their life. The three of them end up at one of their houses, and begin a game of Roulette. As the game plays out, we begin to learn about Dean, Richard's, and Sunny's traumatic pasts. As the tension builds, the game of Roulette goes from a simple drinking game, to a game of Russian Roulette. As the game (and tension) builds, we soon discover that the three main character's pasts are all connected in one way or another.Writer/director Erik Kristopher Myers dose a really good job at connecting the three main characters pasts, and feeding the audience JUST enough about each character's back story during the film to keep you glued into the story, until the very end. With "Roulette", Erik provides a template for which all low-budget indie films should follow, and proved that with the right cast, crew, and dedication, you don't need millions of dollars to make a powerful film. And "powerful" is an understatement! This film will, no doubt, evoke many emotions from it's viewers. It's dark, rough, and pulls no punches - all for the BETTER, anyway.This film is definitely the start of something BIG...
