| Film BlatherEugene NovikovNear the top of the list of Questions I'd Like Answered is why John McTiernan has forsaken us. |
| TIME MagazineJay CocksJames Caan, on roller skates, is trying to save the world. This needs a bit of explaining, which is only the beginning of the trouble with Rollerball. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDisjointed, puerile and ugly-looking to boot...a visual, as well as a narrative, wreck. |

| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonSome movies should never have been made, and high on that list is the addled new remake of Rollerball. |
