Product: Rollerball (2002)
Rating: 1.0
Judging it from the PG-13 version
Type casting the co-star of American Pie and the religious, clean cut rapper LL Cool J while throwing in the hardcore metal bands of Slipknot and Rob Zombie? Does this sound like an audience clash of interest to you? Maybe that's why it didn't do so well. People who liked American Pie (especially the girls) for the most part, don't like Slipknot and Rob Zombie- and the same goes ten-fold for LL Cool J. The PG-13 version is the only one I saw, and while I have read numerous reviews of it being incredibly violent I only have this to say: No. Yes it was violent, but in the end, it earned a PG-13 rating. Judging from what I saw there, I would bet that this version is a bit more graphic but not enough so to give it more than an extra star. Klein, the director, was responsible for films such as "Die Hard," which absolutely amazes me becaues the directing in this movie was awful. The camera clips and slows down in something that tries to be 'new' and 'cutting edge', but ends up being an eyesore.Why the heck would I want to see the guy from American Pie and LL Cool J in what's (supposedly) a violent and gritty action film?Your money is well spent else where.
