And just like Crank movies, the crazy filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have returned with yet another outrageous, far-fetched, adrenaline rush action film that's sure to amuse those who think, live and breathe the same way they do. GAMER is… a movie for...

PLOT: In the distant future, video games have advanced to the point where players begin controlling actual people. The newest game to feature this technology is called “Slayers”, where players control death row inmates, who are forced to battle each other to the...

Lionsgate | USA | 95 minutes With a depiction of a distant future that seems all too possible and enough explosions and mayhem to make even Michael Bay blush, Gamer provides its audience with a brilliantly executed scifi/action/thriller, not to mention some really...

[i Gamer is a futuristic tale where the video icons are real people.[/i The question of what to do with the cutthroats and murderers who occupy American prisons was solved years ago by the movies: you make them run for their lives for the amusement of TV game show...

I think the title says it all. Gerard Butler puts in a scarily good performance. At some points in the movie, you don't know if he's being controlled or being himself. The direction is especially good for a movie like this. Action movies can leave lots of plot holes...

It's hard to have any active dislike for a movie like Gamer, because it really doesn't try very hard to be much more than an excuse to get some really cool blood spatter effects on screen and occasionally feature topless women. Naturally, for the target market, which...

Starring Gerard Butler, Amber Valletta, Michael C. Hall, Kyra Sedgwick, Terry Crews, Ludacris Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor It's the future. A future that could very possibly happen in our lifetime. A future we've largely seen in movies already. Most of...

A colleague of mine once observed that the very manner by which Chev Chelios had to keep himself alive in the Crank films respectively represented the approach that writing/directing team Neveldine/Taylor took for each of them, which is to say that Crank 1 was all...

The problem with the realistic visions of the future coming out of Hollywood is that they're all such a downer. Even when the plot involves giant insect-like aliens and a spaceship hovering over South Africa, the gritty details tend to hit close to home. "Gamer" is a...

The awesomeness of exploitation flick Gamer is going to surprise you. Packed with insane violence, decadent sex, and (yes!) musical numbers, the movie is a blood-dark satire of futuristic videogame culture that will push all your buttons. Spoilers ahead! Made by...

[i Picturenose.com's Jeremy Slater is pleased to discover a 'movie of a video game' that doesn't insult the intelligence…[/i Most grown-ups and many moviegoers would shy away, these days, from films that appear to be based on PC games, and who can blame them? The...

There's a long-running history of terrible movies based on video games, but perhaps things will turn out better if Hollywood simply focuses on the concept of the gamer itself. The movie "Gamer" is a "high-concept action thriller set in the near future, a time when...

GAME Test Screening Review 10/23/2008 Posted by Frosty ShareThis Steve here. Last night there were a number of test screenings here in Los Angeles. They tested The Time Travelers Wife, The Haunting in Connecticut, and a movie that I cannot wait to see….Game. If you...

And it doesn't sound too good... Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Gerard Butler's GAME tested last night and we got our first reaction, which ain't pretty. From the CRANK directors this seemed like a no-brainer... Gerard Butler being badass, an avatar of video game player...

OK, where to start... First of all, this was the first public screening of "Game" for an audience survey, but the movie itself was not 100% complete. Before it started, we were told to expect various incomplete components, from missing Visual Effects elements,...

A casting notice went out to agents today asking reps to put forward their best “twins”. Two "Retardedly hot," 21-year-old females are needed for a pivotal scene in the new Gerard Butler pic, “Game”. The characters are described as being ''horny trouble makers that...
