You'll find more gripping suspense in a SCOOBY-DOO episode. Released at the tail end of the disaster movie cycle of the 1970s, ROLLEROASTER follows safety inspector George Segal in his pursuit of mad bomber Timothy Bottom, who threatens to blow up various amusement park rides. Completely devoid of both action and suspense (the film makers give away Bottom's identity very early on), this witless fiasco has nothing at all going for it. Bottoms' performance is as lifeless as the film's pace. Richard Widmark plays a government man who disbelieves everything Segal says, therefore giving the movie a reason to exist. ROLLERCOASTER is un-memorable on every level. A bunch of one time movie stars like Henry Fonda, Harry Guardino and Susan Strasberg are in it too.
