Synopsis

Four contestants compete for up to $100,000 in a hybrid general knowledge quiz-game of chance. They stand on a giant 6-panel roulette board, similar to a chamber of a revolver, where wrong answers could eliminate a player by causing them to drop out of the game – literally.

Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
mille52 THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. What genius came up with the idea of people falling through holes in the floor. My father doesn't watch much television, but when he does, he often talks about how the "boob tube" has gone completely, well, down the tubes. When he watches Russian Roulette, he gets so excited! Anytime someone falls he just goes into fits of giggles. The questions are really challenging and seeing people fall down holes (and they're genuinely scared) is just good quality television. Mark L. Walberg is absolutely adorable, and I am so glad to see that he has moved on from Temptation Island. He is really funny and obviously is pleased to see people drop through the floor. Two thumbs up for Russian Roulette and its charming host!
I_Love_Janelle_BB6 I feel so impressed now! We just got another $100,000 winner! This winner is Maria Laye who survived 5 drop zones who won $2,000 on the main winnings and saved 8 seconds on the 60-second round. The answers were "Tick, tack, toe" and what people step on when they are riding a horse. Maria said tack for the right answer. She got it right and before making her decision, she said, "I came with nothing. If I leave with nothing, I'll have nothing." Then, before pulling the final handle (not after Mark asks if she wants to go for the $100,000), she said, "I'm crazy."
youngmensch "Russian Roulette" is a great game show. The falling down holes concept is interesting, memorable contestants are cast and host Mark L. Walberg is great. He actually has personality and makes jokes unlike many of the other hosts on Game Show Network. Sadly, it looks like it will be canceled in a matter of weeks. Good luck Russian Roulette.
Aussie Stud "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" recently premiered on The Game Show Network much to my delight when the teasers for it showed different people 'falling' through open holes in the floor. It looked like a laugh riot.Unfortunately, after a few 'viewings' of this boring and rather insipid game show, one would only assume that someone with absolutely no clue might have thought up the premise for this particular game show that has been relegated to the 'late hours' of the night on The Game Show Network.The premise is very weak. Four contestants are aligned on four separate circles out of eight that form a complete circle (the layout resembles that of a rotary telephone). Each contestant has a lever that they pull should they answer a question correctly and a lighted circle will rotate around the circles until it slows down to a stop on a random circle. Should anyone but the lucky contestant who pulled the lever be unfortunate to be standing on that particular circle that the light comes to rest on, a trapdoor beneath them will open up and they will fall (presumably onto a set of cushions).What seemed like complete hilarity during the teasers for "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" will only result in disappointment and complete boredom as you slowly make your way through 30 minutes of inane multi-choice questioning usually regarding pop culture as three people will ultimately fall through their trapdoors. Mark Walberg (not to be confused with the singer/actor of the same name) makes for a very boring and by-the-numbers host who some may recognize as being the host of FOX's sleazy reality show, "TEMPTATION ISLAND".Much like other game shows of its ilk, there is not enough excitement contained in the show to keep the average viewer interested. The cash prize is quite small and the questions asked are so extraordinarily dumbed-down that a five year old child would find them to be extremely easy to answer.I give "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" about three months before it goes the same way as shows such as "HOLLYWOOD SHOWDOWN" and "GREED" went before it... down the trapdoor!
