Gamer

Gamer is non-stop bat-out-of hell madness. It is a load of straightforward action, bloodshed, and sexual content. The story is not very deep and there is not a whole lot of character development. It is hard not to think of the Running Man or Death Race while watching Gamer, but it is fair to say that Gamer is its own movie. The cast of the film is impressive, as is the cinematography. Michael C Hall, Terry Crews, Ludacris, and Kyra Sedgwick are all fun to watch even if they do not have the best writing to work with. And Gerard Butler does not disappoint in the lead role. I cannot say the same thing about the movie as a whole. I find it rather disappointing. Gamer tries too hard. It is a prime example of over-the-top puerile entertainment that has a lot of potential to offend.
