This Movie sucks
Added 5/24/2005

Now your problay wondering why i put 1 star on their
and the put "THIS MOVIE SUCKS".Well that's because
it has only 1 good scene in their that's when that kid
with the spikey red hair gets his revenge on the pedofile
security guard.This movie really has no plot,no story
they really don't tell what are the story behind these
5 troubled teenagers.And i think whoever made this movie
needs to go back to college because he has no idea how to make
a film in my opinon.And i would only reccomend this movie
to (...),lesbians,pedofiles,troubled teens,adults
or canadians

Good concept, good acting but, poor film.
Added 10/24/2003

This film could have been so much more than what it was. Though the acting was surprisingly good, it was way too slow for my tastes. The acting is why this movie got a 3 and not a 1...glad I rented instead of buying it.

Major props to the young actors.

More on aimless youth
Added 7/21/2003

Another entry in the aimless youth category, Rollercoaster is the story of five young teens, who break into a deserted amusement park. They walk around, drink booze, smoke pot, and are just generally upset with the world. However, two of these kids have an agenda. They plan to kill themselves at the end of the day, jumping from the top of a rollercoaster. What makes this movie so compelling to watch are the excellent performances from the entire cast, and the ending is quite startling. The actual DVD has no special features to speak of except being widescreen and you can watch the trailer. I would recommend this to anyone who likes (or is affected by) the films of Larry Clark (Kids or Bully). Watch out for the park security guard!
