Rollerball

MGM 2002 withLL Cool J and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos

action film involving underground gaming that becomes more and more violent to suit the tastes of the bloodthirsty audience, which of course lines the pockets of the Russians who run the whole thing. Basically it's another movie that makes the Russians look like complete heartless villains, and it would be interesting to see this movie in a sort of "near-future" format, in which a computerized network already mostly rules the world, but then - that's been done as well.

Yup - this type of movie's been done before - a good example would be XXX with Vin Diesel.

It's OK, though. Not much more to be said for that.
