"Gamer" by Yojimbo

In a near future society, death row inmates are given a chance of freedom by participating as living characters in an ultra violent videogame. Something akin to a next gen version of The Running Man, Gamer manages to be even more vacuous and daft than its Stephen King penned predecessor. A sterling example of everything that's wrong with contemporary cinema, it was clearly directed by a retard with ADHD and is full of enough irritating and pointless camera trickery to make Tony Scott blush. The empty script is little more than an excuse for gratuitous violence, nudity and bad language with absolutely zero depth, characterisation or any semblance of the kind of social or political commentary that The Running Man at least attempted. Michael C. Hall brought a little flamboyance to his evil …

Trash.....Completely disappointed in this movie and in Alison Lohman. Leguizamo should stick with his cross dressing movies like "Julie Newmar" you know, rolles he can relate too. Lohman was so great in "Matchstick Men", I don't know what happend here. I think Butler was anticipating another "300", well he got a gutter ball doing this movie. Sure some scenes were interesting, but the plot missed the point. this will go on my 'LIst" of good ideas gone bad. I never liked 'Dexter' so I had a bad opinion about Hall anyway. I'm not even going to get into the plot of the movie, cause the title says it all. I'm only glad I paid one dollar to rent this at Red Box. I think Keith David just needed the work, he's a lot better than this also. I give it two thumbs down, and not on the …

Gamer.
THIS FILM IS BAD.
Set in the near future where everybody is a dick and plays Society, a sim game gone wrong, the creator, Ken Castle (oddly enough played Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame) creates a new game in which deathrow prisoners are controlled via a computer to kill each other. The game is called Slayer, a sort of 3rd person shooter. The film revolves around Kable, a contestant in Slayer controlled by a hideously annoying little arsehole teenager who I would rather see get shot instead of Gerard Butler. Kable is unstoppable, after surviving 29 games. If he should win the 30th, he is set free to see his wife and kid. But instead, he leaves the game area to find Castle...because he can, I suppose. Or maybe so he can be set free. He finds Castle, kills him, happy …

Gamer, a Mr. E Movie Review
(Run time: 95 min. - Directed by: Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor - Starring: Gerard Butler, Amber Valletta, Michael C. Hall, and Ludacris)
If you want to see a cool action-packed flick that's gonna just kick your butt from beginning to end then check out Gerard Butlers new movie Gamer. I loved the concept and actors so much that for the first time, in a long time, I actually wish a movie was longer!
In the not so far off future the world has gone through some desperate changes. The health care system has collapsed, the country's on the verge of bankruptcy, and everything has begun to fall apart. Then, one day a man named Ken Castle, played by Michael C. Hall from Showtime's Dexter, comes along with a solution. Virtual video games that give the user …

If you were to water down hell, pour it into a large TV screen, and add a few hundred tons of sugar you may wind up with a movie of poor taste which goes by the name of Gamer who’s title simply implies that you are about to watch a video game come to life. What it does not tell you is that you will also be mind-numblingly subjected to a seriously mouth dropping indoctrination of youth into pornography and violence continuously brainwashing us into believing it’s just a game in a constantly connected society seduced by power, money, and dominance with little or no regard for human life as blood and body parts splatter across the screen in classic tarintino-like fashion. Gamer depicts this world as very much a self-pleasing society …
