Prayer of the Rollerboys

About This Movie

Prayer of the Rollerboys is a curious blend of action and sci-fi, set in a dystopian future that feels like a gritty alternate version of 90s Los Angeles. The atmosphere is thick with tension and chaos, as we follow Griffin, a rollerblader drawn into a conflict against a ruthless gang. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on edge as he races through the urban landscape. The performances, particularly by the lead, lend a rawness that feels at home amidst the film's practical effects—there’s something almost nostalgic about the rollerblading stunts. Themes of brotherhood and resistance against fascism play out against a backdrop of neon lights and grim realities, making it a distinctive piece from an era that loved its unique dystopias.
