Leave your thoughts about Rollover.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDiverting doomsday financial-political thriller. |
| Boston GlobeBruce McCabeAlan J. Pakula's Rollover is a moody, evocative, wispy thriller that makes some intriguing moves before dissolving like a wet tissue in irresolution. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA talented cast, headed by Jane Fonda, is wasted in Alan Pakula's mediocre political thriller |
| CinePassionFernando F. CrocePakula's subtle satire was lost on critics |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottAlthough elegantly appointed and possessed of a provocative theme, Rollover is a fundamentally disappointing political-romantic thriller [from a story by David Shaber, Howard Kohn and David Weir] set in the rarified world of international high finance. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe dramatic possibilities of the material are weak at best, and its satirical underpinnings are nowhere to be found. As for the characters, they are either deeply unsympathetic or, when they resort to technical jargon for very long periods of time, incomprehensible. |
| User ReviewMarko Stoo realistic movie for someone who is not a financial expert, and so hard to follow the line of story. and there is something there: corruption, double-crossing, financial manipulation, illegal percents and dirt of the capitalism. kinda visionary movie watched from 2009. perspective. |
| User ReviewGreg Win light of recent events in the stock markets this is an interesting film. though it focuses of 70s anxieties the points are still relevant today. |
