Feat. Jean Reno, Chris Klein, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos

Aroview: Now-notorious flop ‘remake’ of the James Caan original, set around the violent futuristic game of the title (kind of a cross between roller-derby and ice-hockey) being played in a dodgy Central Asian republic. Run by promoter Jean Reno, star-players include Chris Klein, LL Cool J and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, enduring a barrage of jump-cut editing, autocue-babble and a plot that unravels almost as it unfolds. For sci-fi nuts only.

1 star (Turkey) Terrible remake that should be avoided by all other than the most avid of fan. ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) Limited futuristic value as today's driving habits have been portrayed as not changing. Best bit is the ride through the streets of San Francisco at the start although this has nothing to do with the rest of the story and may have been added on. ~Tubbs
