Review of Rollerball (2002) by Muffin M — 27 Jul 2010
In a world where ruthless corporations reign supreme, this vicious and barbaric "sport" is the only outlet for the pent-up anger and frustrations of the masses.
Tuned to their televisions, the people watch "Rollerball": a brutal mutation of football, motocross and hockey. Jonathan E. (James Caan) is the champion player - a man too talented for his own good. The Corporation has taken away the woman Jonathan loves (Maud Adams) but they can't take away his soul - even if the diabolical corporate head (John Houseman) tells.
Him he'd better retire... or suffer the old-fashioned way.
Also stars John Beck, Moses Gunn, Barbara Trentham, Ralph Richardson, Shane Rimmer and Pamela Hensley.
Directed by Norman Jewison.
