“Gamer,” stars Gerald Butler (300, RocknRolla, P.S. I Love You (Huh?!)), John Leguizamo (Carlito’s Way, Spawn, To Wong Foo (Why?!!!!)), Ludacris (Crash, Hustle & Flow, Max Payne), and Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under). The film is set in the near future where an online mass-scale multiplayer game called, “Slayers,” allow gamers to take full control over real human prisoners, who are all on deathrow through mind controlling technology, which was created by a reclusive billionaire named Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). All participating inmates agree to a deal, which states that if an inmate manages to survive 30 sessions he’s granted an immediate release from prison. Nearing the set amount is a deathrow inmate named Kable (Gerald Butler) who is a cult hero of the game. Kable is being controlled by a gamer named Simon. As each week passes their status grows and Kable’s chances for freedom grows ever closer.
I know we’ve seen this type of movie plenty of times before with such motion pictures as, Death Race 2000, The Condemned, No Escape, and The Running Man, but with Mr. “This is Sparta!” in the mix I see this film being somewhat successful and enjoyable to watch. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.
