Roller Squad (2021) User Reviews

Guess I'm this movies worst nightmare.

[kevonthego-14067 · 5/10 · 1 May 2024]

Messing on with some stuff at work that does not need a lot of thought I stuck this on for background. So - as a life time skater (ice and rollerblade) it is nice to see there are some people in this movie who are real skaters. I mean it's obvious who is and who is not but at least they made the effort.

The bigger prolem comes with the I. T. stuff. I have worked with computers for 45 years now and ... well let's just say no one in the production of this movie seems to have much in that area. It's just a load of random buzz word followed by "Ahhhh - A. I. - I see"

But apart from the wooden acting as others have mentiond it's not that bad if you don't expect too much.

Keep on skating

Hammy acting poor script writing. Looks like someone has made it for a Uni project Skate on by.

Skate on by

[patrickstarr-28739 · 1/10 · 22 July 2021]

Definitely had potential but poor acting and bad story build up had this movie crashing in the end.

Really entertaining

[chameautv · 9/10 · 22 July 2021]

The premise of this film is quite intriguing. Roller Skater hunt a serial killer through the streets of London.

It really kicks off full speed, and gives us a feeling of a potentially quit dark and scary film. But quickly the comedy kicks in, and we discover that it won't be all grit and speed only.

Let's make it clear, this is an indie film, with a low budget production.

If you're expecting Fast & Furious on rollerblade, you won't get it, this really has an indie film and the stunts seem quite real.

It quite entertaining and fun to watch, I thought it was original and well done. The main actors are all quite good. Obviously some of the fast skaters are not professional actors, but they're all doing well in their role. So yeah, fun and distracting, recommended :)

A different London

[johannadeburgh · 7/10 · 7 March 2022]

I have spent some time in London, but this film makes me want to visit this city again! So many hidden gems and real life feeling.

So many films are shot in studio and look super clean, this is your raw shooting with a great sense of comedy.

My favorite character is "Hugh" (Benjamin McMahon), totally love this dude!

Fun on wheels

This is really something else, the skating scenes in the street feel so real and raw, it's totally different from the usual formatted stunt.

Imperfect but authentic, and the four lead actors are lovely, especially "Sophie" played by Amy Newton!

Refreshing and fun

[sonialouki · 6/10 · 16 March 2022]

I really enjoyed watching this, and am amazed to see that the skaters did their own stunts. It even seems that one of them didn't expect to fall down at some stage.

The story is basic but fine, it's all about catching a killer who is to fast for the police. Some kind of vigilante tribe on wheels.

The four leads are really good, Amy Newton in particular as "Sophie".

I just gave it 6 stars because it's not a big budget action film, don't expect explosion and car crashes, it all seems done with an indie production.

But it works and I think about it every time I see a skater now :)

In love of seeing real skaters on the big screen

[gratuito · 9/10 · 27 July 2021]

This movie is fantastic. Love, Action, Comedy, Drama all in one.

It is an indie film, do not expect a Benjamin Button for Love, X-Men for Action, The Hangover for the Comedy and Hacksaw Bridge for Drama.

Enjoy at it is :p.

Different, Bold and Fresh (Alert Spoiler)

[londonskatelife · 8/10 · 27 July 2021]

Based on our knowledge about the movie filming conditions that we have from the actors, budget and Story, I am happy to provide a 8.

1. Actors. They did work for Free. Because they like to act or they like to skate, who have never acted before. It was an opportunity to enjoy what we love. On the skaters level, all the skaters are really good on their skills, but sometimes the script doesn't try to make the skaters show off, it narrates a story do not pretend to make the skaters be better as individual. If you want to amazed by the skills, go and find the skaters on their personal Instagram Accounts and they wont disappoint you.

2. Budget: The whole movie has been produced, filmed, edited and written by the same person so I consider this an important aspect when you judge a movie.

3. Story: If you only watch a movie thinking of the story and if you like it, maybe you should learn a bit more cine. A movie bigger than the story that narrates. It isn't only the story is also the budget, the team is behind and the quality of actors, which I consider is much better than many others like the repetitive movies of superheroes that you predict almost the whole movie and the budget and actors quality is superb. The final is a bit "Deux Ex Machine" solution, but like I said, many movies just kill the villain to end the story. Skating has this kind of chance of be hit by a car likely than many other events.

Unique Movie

[streetgermail · 10/10 · 27 July 2021]

Low Budget and really unique idea. The script is super cool how the director link all the stories and races.

The movie is not a Hollywood movie so please do not expect explosions, incredible action with green Croma and a story with detailed characters and past.

Something different to add to our cine and to improve the skating scene and motivate healthy habits.

Independent spirit

[yvesblacks · 8/10 · 9 December 2021]

Very fun watch, it's obviously not the same budget as Mission Impossible, but it makes it even more raw and relatable.

My girlfriend doesn't care about roller skating but she enjoyed it too, the lead actors are quite good and their characters are quite engaging.
