What are critics saying?
With a fantastic stunt team, a gamely macho star and some wonderful editing, Rollerball is so convincing, urban legend had it there were fatalities during the shoot.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Wilmington
It's got the smoothest, glossiest finish imaginable, but something inside it doesn't jell. [15 July 1988, p.26]
