To be honest, I was very excited to watch this movie. However, I lost that feeling in the first 10 minutes of the film. Actually, you cannot judge a whole movie in just 10 or 15 minutes, and I kept convincing myself that the movie will go better as time goes on. Unfortunately it did not. The performances were really weak, that is what upset me in the beginning. A good actor does not make you feel that he is acting, but in this movie, I could really see the "overacting". That was the first disappointment. The second disappointment was about the story. The Arabic screenwriters - in general- are very lazy! They just stick too much details without explaining or without a clear ending, and that is a disaster. There were a couple of characters that you will not understand the meaning of their existence. What the writers really failed in is that they stuck much minor points beside the main point, and these minor points will make the audience confused. What the writers should have done in the first place was to focus in one certain point, then they could have added the minor points as branches and with clear explanation and ending. I am saying that because there were many scenes that was not understood, and they had nothing to do with the story itself, that what I meant when I said "these minor points will make the audience confuesd". Finally, the Saudi cinema is still a "child", but we must critisice it hardly, because I am a Saudi, and I would love to see more Saudi movies. What I really would love is to see a good Saudi movie, unfortunately, Roll'em was not the movie I looked for.
