…a stew of bare breasts, ear-piercing noise, muddy violence and incoherence…

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 30, 2023

Rollerball is an unbelievable bomb, but one of the most educational-revealing corporate desperation at its vulgar low.

| Mar 16, 2020

Only those attracted to Waterworld- or Last Action Hero-level big-budget disasters need bother with this one.

| Mar 26, 2013

Loud, crude and outlandish, Rollerball is a parody of itself, a frenzy of extreme-sports stunts masquerading as social commentary on violence and the corporate forces that feed off it.

| Mar 26, 2013

A dire re-working of the provocative 1975 sci-fi satire.

| Mar 26, 2013

This is a terrible big-budget fiasco with a go nowhere plot and terrible cast.

The French accents go from Canadian to European within a sentence, and that's only from the ones I could pick up. Who knows what other languages were massacred in the process?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2008

This film was long-delayed and much altered in post-production and it shows.

| Oct 18, 2008

Although Norman Jewison's stolidly grim and ultimately ludicrous 1975 original was hardly a landmark of nightmarish sci-fi, it towers over this.

| Jun 11, 2008

This remake exists for no clear reason at all. It doesn't even make sense and the action is dull and repetitive.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 8, 2007

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 10, 2007

Rollerball looks like a checklist shaped by a 15-year-old mallrat: thrashing metal track, skateboards, motorbikes, cracked heads and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos with her top off.

| Jun 24, 2006

Rollerball is rigged to play as a critique of the corporate media's ruthlessly sensational tactics (overseas, that is), but even a junior-high hockey goalie could recognize it as a cheesy product of such sensationalism itself.

It's rare to see a movie fail in every possible area ...

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 7, 2004

...tries to work in some eye-rolling instances of social commentary, and this is where it fails completely.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 1, 2003

An own-goal fest that will have you asleep in your seat by half time.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 8, 2003

Pushes the Hollywood action movie to stratospheric new levels of incoherence.

| Jan 15, 2003

Despite delivering a sexy Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, this 5-mph trainwreck is a badly executed attempt at action that can't even be relied upon to deliver mindless and gratuitous violence.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Jan 13, 2003

The rollerball sequences feel sanitised and stagey.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 23, 2002

Such a brain dead, jukebox of a movie, it should've been called Tron for Dummies.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 8, 2002
