Gamer

"This violent and raw movie has an off-kilter plot but a real world application to an incarcerated man who has lost control of his life. After being convicted of first-degree murder, he is sentenced to playing out an all too real game of survival inside prison walls. This dark and high-octane action film stars Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Keith David, Terry Crews, and Amber Valletta, Ludacris, and Logan Lerman; quite a stacked and diverse cast. Buckle up, this is a real thrill ride! (Warning: ⚠️ Violent scenes with dismemberment, frontal female nudity, and cursing.)"

"3 out of 5 stars"

"Odd but I liked it"

"A Futuristic Thrill Ride In the realm of sci-fi action films, Gamer stands out as a thought-provoking and visually stunning thrill ride. Released in 2009, this movie's themes of virtual reality, social control, and the blurring of lines between the physical and digital worlds feel eerily relevant today. Gerard Butler shines as Kable, a death row inmate who becomes a superstar in a virtual reality game called "Slayers." With his chiseled good looks and charisma, Butler brings a sense of gravitas and heroism to the role. The film's concept, created by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, is fresh and exciting. The idea of a virtual reality game that allows players to control real people in a simulated environment raises important questions about the ethics of technology and the consequences of our actions. The action sequences are fast-paced and intense, with impressive stunts and slick visual effects. The supporting cast, including Michael C. Hall, Logan Lerman, and Kyra Sedgwick, add depth and complexity to the story. While some of the themes and ideas may feel a bit dated, Gamer remains a gripping and thought-provoking film that's well worth watching. With its timely commentary on the intersection of technology and society, this movie would be fascinating to see re-released in 2025. If you're a fan of sci-fi action films or are simply looking for a thrilling ride, Gamer is definitely worth checking out."

"Violent, gory and gritty. I honestly love everything about this movie."

"A fun action movie"

"This is all star and so painful"

"This movie has some visuals that most people would said Ault based but other than a few scenes it's a decent watch. I can count that I've watched it two times know. 1st was like a year or two ago. The second was about a month ago. I just don't look or update this that much."

"Fun little flick, just don't take it too seriously. "
