I just wanna start off by saying that I'm a big fan of both Crank and Crank: High Voltage. Neveldine/Taylor are two fun adrenaline fueled directors who know how to make a fun enjoyable, HARD R, film. Now, when I first saw the trailer for Gamer I just said,...

While the writing/directing team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor devised a fast-paced thrill ride with 'Crank' and an over-the-line shockfest with 'Crank: High Voltage,' they seem to be straddling the line with 'Gamer.' Loads of action abound, and not a minute goes...

Gerard Butler stars as Kable in Lionsgate Films' "Gamer." Watching Lionsgate Films' new high-octane action flick "Gamer" sends a chill down the perceptive moviegoer's spine. Every nook and cranny of this couch potato's fantasy is packed with fine-tuned details. It...

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...

[b Bottom Line: Crass, nonstop action triumphs over narrative and character in this movie-length simulation of a video game.[/b "Gamer" takes up the wild action where the two "Crank" movies left off. Following the boxoffice success with those films, co-creators Mark...

Not what you would expect but entertaining. The main letdown of this movie is that you would expect Gamer to be a straight forward action pic. Instead it indulges in jump cuts and glitches (more jump cuts) which distract from what would be very interesting action...

If you loved “Rollerball,” “ Death Race 2000 ” and their subsequent B-grade remakes, rush this instant to see “Gamer,” which opened Friday. Putting a high-tech spin on those familiar stories, the movie is aimed squarely at connoisseurs of high-concept,...

Lionsgate released their action,drama,thriller film this weekend entitled, “Gamer.” It starred Gerard Butler as the real life gaming hero, Kable. The movie was pretty interesting and different,and I do mean different as it explored a weird world of mind control...

Sorry for the short hiatus, but here we go again. Today's selection is none other than the Death Race/Crank-esque film, Gamer. Gamer stars Gerard Butler(300) and Michael C. Hall(Dexter). This movie for me, was a much needed adrenaline pumping, action film with over...

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...

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...

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...

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...
