I settled on this movie due to the glowing reviews here on IMDb! A Big Mistake!Maybe I was expecting something that resembled a plot line, dialog, and acting .... there isn't one minute of this to be found in this movie! Honestly - the actors are sub regional theatre talent. The word 'talent' I'm using for lack of any other word.Throughout the entire movie the acting and dialog is so bad it's not even funny! At least they could have thrown in some sharks to keep the interest up.And the big twist at the end is just STUPID! Don't be fooled by the other reviews - this movie is a joke!

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.

Roulette: A Film by Erik Kristopher Myers, covers the story of Dean, Richard, and Sunny. Three people from three very different backgrounds who have come together for a deadly game of Russian Roulette and one last session of group therapy. This is one of those rare films that come along every couple of years. It's haunting, thrilling, and thought provoking. With controversial subject matters that go into the darkest emotions a human can have. You are put in a room with three people who have no reason to live. You won't understand why they are there and you won't stop saying "put down the gun, put down the gun." You'll be gripping the arm rests of your chair up until the final moments of the film. Award winning performances, directing, and writing, are joined with an attention to detail and passion that shows what an art film making really is. You will not regret watching this, and you won't be the same person after it ends.
