Ok now its time for somthing a little different. today I'm gonna review 1975s RollerBall. the movie stars James Caan who you might remember as Ed Delin from the TNT series Las Vegas. Caan Plays RollerBall Champion Johnathan E. who has become a threat to the few corperat giants who run america since there isnt any more government or wars. and americas new favorit Past time is a game called roller ball witch is a bloodsport thats a combination of football and cage fighting on rollerscates and motercycles. I wont get into the detials but apparently they want Johnathan (Caan) to retire because they fear hes becoming greater than the game or some such nonsense. so since he wont they alter the rules to such a degree that they try to have Johnathan killed.
personally I found this movie to have a good storyline, but so poorly written it was hard to fallow. James Cann is at his best in this movie dispite his jew fro, but then again it was the seventies and he manages to pull it off witch is more than i can say for people now a days. as with any action of scifi movies made in the seventies it mostly revoles around sex, drugs and fighting the man. add what was thought of as violance and gore back then and you got yourselves a guy movie.
I give it a 3 out of 5. I personally only liked this movie becuase I though James Caan brought this coarse charm to his character and I got to see him walk around half naked. also im tottaly loving the retro mod look his Jersey has that hes wearing in the film. I managed to find a link to a site that has it.
