TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Fleur
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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!

As an independent filmmaker, I've seen a number of films that were poorly written and poorly executed. ROULETTE is NOT one of those films! For having absolutely no budget, it was well written, well acted, well shot, and well directed. Director Erik Kristopher Myers had a very clear vision of what he wanted this film to look and feel like and it shows in the final product. The lead actors, Ali Lukowski, Will Haza, and Mike Baldwin, gave a fantastic performance. The people voting this at one star must not be familiar with indy films. I've seen indy films that had a seven figure budget and were terrible. I highly recommend adding this film to your personal collection.

What an amazing movie! The non-linear story line was absolutely amazing and was done in such a way that it was easy to follow and kept the audience guessing. The character development was excellent throughout the movie and each character's demise was extremely well thought out. The story is well planned and touches upon real problems people have to deal with. What made this movie one of my favorites was the twist and surprise at the end. The plot brought together three strangers and throughout the weaving of each of their tales, their paths intersected, ultimately leading to one of the biggest twists at the end of the movie. I can honestly say that for the last half an hour of that movie my mind was racing trying to piece together the story line before it was revealed in its entirety and my heart was racing from the suspense that is provided by the character's situations. After finishing the movie, I simply walked away in utter disbelief as to what happened and could not believe how exciting and intense the movie was.

One day, I was going through my cable provider menu.Having been aware of "Roulette" being delayed over a period of a couple of years until finally being given the light of day, I decided to look through the "Independent Film" section of the On Demand service, hoping to find this.Having no luck, I later logged on my computer and found an email by Erik Kristopher Myers.It was weird, because I hadn't heard from him in probably three years or so.Long story short, he made me aware that the DVD and Blue Ray were about to be released on Amazon.I finally received the DVD earlier this week, and I have watched it twice as of Friday, November 22.This is a movie best to be taken in without children present.If one is offended by foul language and sex scenes, I would advise not watching.This story revolves around three young people (Two men and a young lady) in a tense game of Russian Roulette.I don't want to delve into the story lines, because that would only lead me into divulging spoilers.All I know, is that on more than a few occasions, I had to pause the film and walk around a bit from the tension that was building.I felt really bad for all of the characters, especially the young lady named Sunshine.If only she had accepted the marriage proposal!Her fate could have turned out so much better than it did.It is amazing how these three people who did not even know each other, had their lives actually intersecting one another by strange coincidence.The ending left me completely shocked, to say the least.See the movie, it's the best independent film that I have seen in a while.Erik Kristopher Myers is a great storyteller, and he got his story across with a fine cast to convey this story.
