Prayer of the Rollerboys

In a dystopian near-future Los Angeles, a young man named Griffin becomes addicted to 'The Surge,' a powerful hallucinogenic drug peddled by the Rollerboys, a violent youth gang. His older brother, Michael, a former Rollerboy himself, tries to pull Griffin out of his addiction and away from the gang's dangerous influence. Michael must confront his past and the leader of the Rollerboys to save his brother before it's too late.

Prayer of the Rollerboys received mixed to negative reviews upon its release. While some critics noted its ambitious attempt at a cautionary tale with a unique aesthetic, many found its plot convoluted and its execution lacking. It has since gained a cult following among fans of 90s sci-fi and DTV action films.

• Praised for its unique visual style and a decent attempt at a cautionary tale about drug use.
• Criticized for a muddled plot and uneven pacing.
• Corey Haim's performance was often highlighted, though not always enough to save the film.

Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be an interesting, albeit flawed, attempt at a sci-fi cautionary tale. Many appreciated the stylistic elements and the commitment to its dystopian vision, while some noted that the story could be hard to follow at times.

The film's distinctive look was inspired by the cyberpunk aesthetics popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the visual style of films like 'Blade Runner' and 'Akira'.
