Roller Squad

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!

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.

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!

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

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 :)
