In a corporate-controlled future, one champion of the ultra-violent sport Rollerball defies the executives who want him out.
Sinekatalog’s take
Norman Jewison's dystopian sci-fi is violent, cold and stylish, with James Caan, and it still feels relevant.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
