Gamer

This is a cross between popular Sim games, first person shooter (FPS) games, and extreme ultimate fights. When a mad genius gets richer than Bill Gates on technology that allows some people to pay to control other people via the Internet, what is the reasonable level to take it to?

Yup, you guessed it, prisoner on prisoner warfare with live rounds. Survival means freedom. Oh, that is not what you thought? No worries, that's what Hollywood is for. Put thoughts in our heads we would not otherwise get. Ha!

The makers of the audience-assault Crank series take the above-mentioned fan favorites to levels beyond our imaginations. And I have to say "well done". This is an interesting story told as only they would do it. Thanks guys.

Gerard Butler plays a convicted murderer plays a live-action full-battle game called Slayers. If he survives a few more battles he'll gain his freedom. Multiple twists come into play as well. The designer of the game, played perfectly evil by Michael C. Hall, does not want to let him win. There is also a group of underground tech-pirates who hack the system.

So, is this movie for YOU? If you are any two of the following: male, 17 to 20-something years old, into video games, into ultimate fighting, into cutting edge digital imaging, or have the hots for either of the stars, in a word, yes, you will like this movie. The rest should watch at their own risk.

Watch this movie with someone who matches as much of the above list as you can find and then watch their total delight.
