New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
The game itself is meaningless, and the movie, much the same way, likes it like that.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Rick Groen
What's up with director John McTiernan? The man has got to get a career of his own -- sponging off the pale leavings of Norman Jewison just won't do.
30
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
It's too bad this Rollerball veered off-track so swiftly, derailed by bad writing and possibly also by some of that extensive post-production reworking.
25
Baltimore Sun - Michael Sragow
There's something junior varsity about the whole sensibility that makes the new version seem more dated than the old one.
20
The New York Times - A.O. Scott
The current version, however, like its predecessor, fails as entertainment. Mr. McTiernan's remake may be lighter on its feet -- the sober-minded original was as graceful as a tap-dancing rhino -- but it is just as boring and as obvious.
