ROLLERBALL (1975) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Norman Jewison
 
Written by - William Harrison
 
Starring - James Caan
 
 
"In a corporate controlled future, an ultra-violent sport known as rollerball represents the world, and its main star is out to defy the people who want him out of the game. Inside the arena, this film is exciting but outside it, it almost stands like a missed opportunity at a true social comment about future decadence and paranoia. Essentlally, the faults seem to lie in the indifferent direction that makes the whole film seem a little aimless. James Caan’s performance as the sporting hero is good."
