Directed by Bill Guttentag.

Starring David Krumholtz, Eva Mendes, Rob Brown, Jay Hernandez, Katie Cassidy.

Eva Mendes, Jay Hernandez, and Eric Lively star in a scathing mockumentary/media satire concerning a network executive (Mendes) who pitches a controversial show in which willing contestants participate in a real-life game of Russian Roulette. As the show goes into production, a documentary crew turns their cameras on the production to capture the firestorm of controversy that erupts as the premier date draws ever closer. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
