Rollerball (2002)
9KRollerball: Directed by John McTiernan. With Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn. The big thing in 2005 is a violent sport which can have some pretty serious consequences… like dying.
“Original u0026#39;Rollerballu0026#39; was a movie about dystopia future, where huge corporations ruled the world and there was no wars. But the blood lust of people had to be compensated, so there was this game called Rollerball, which was full of action, thrills and kills. But then one of the players was in the verge of becoming too big. He, Jonathe E. was a threat to the rule.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe can forget all about that with this remake of that 70u0026#39;s classic. There is no political metaphor, no philosophical questions about humanity, in fact there is no sense at all, if you donu0026#39;t count nonsense, about the movie. John McTiernan, director of such classics as u0026#39;The Predatoru0026#39; and u0026#39;Die Hardu0026#39; has managed to make a movie, that is in one word, poor.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith some idiotic excuse the main protagonist Jonathan (at least the name is same), gets in the hazardous game of Rollerball with his pal Marcus (LL Cool J). Soon he notices, that there is something fishy about the game.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere isnu0026#39;t anything worthwhile to mention about the film. Tiernan directs like a man, who hasnu0026#39;t directed a single piece of film in his life. The plot is idiotic and the main baddies are pretty much camp material. The action is poorly choreographed and the editing tries so badly to be music video like, that itu0026#39;s flat out funny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCanu0026#39;t really figure any reason for anyone to see this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRating: 1 out of 10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCamp rating: 4 out of 10”
