Gamer

[SamanosukeShiva]

GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game “Slayers,” allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Cast: Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Amber Valletta, Alison Lohman, Logan Lerman

Looks awesome

[Pikarya]

everytime I hear that robot voice I think of portal.

[fishstix]

Hope it's not as lame as Death Race though, story-wise.

[SamanosukeShiva]

death race was only suck because jason statham is on it, any movie with him in it will automatically suck.

[Belkin]

Honestly, I've seen the preview like 4 times at the theaters. Everytime I think it looks pretty dumb. Just don't like the concept. The cast isn't too bad though.

[Kwijiboe]

I really like Michael C. Hall, hope his career takes off from this movie--although, I think he's committing career suicide with this movie...

Are you kidding me? Seeing the scene from the trailer where he dances will probably make me see it at some point.

[Xajii]

This sounds like Snow Crash, but lame

[Maguspk]

The idea seems pretty lame, it could be entertaining but I don't see it being a hit.

I take it you haven't seen Snatch.

[hagun]

Not to mention Lock, Stock, and Two Smocking Barrels or Transporter.

[Alderaan]

What a triple threat of pure awesomeness that is Lock, Stock, Snatch and Transporter.

Though, Transporter 2+3 are in league with Death Race when it comes to rubbish.

[ZarakiKujata]

I take it you haven't seen Snatch.

You should watch Snatch if you haven't seen it

Before ze Germans get here.

[Headspace]

I'll see it for Dexter.

[Jaybar]

I don't really like Michael's southern style. From the few lines I heard it didn't strike me as all that good, but who knows. I love him on Dexter and I hope he can carry his career over to the big screen smoothly. Other than the accent, I am pretty intrigued by the story. Trailer clearly focused on Gerard and Michael, but wondering how much of a role the player is going to have.

Bleh I'll imdb this later.

Yeah, the fact that the movie was a horrible attempt at mario kart extreme had nothing to do with it sucking.

Also, saw the trailer, I thought it was the dumbest shit ever.

Then again, I'm not exactly an avid moviegoer, so who knows, maybe the standard is so fucking low these days that these kind of retardation would make a passable movie.

Sup, you rang?

Need more examples? American cinema is garbage these days; though I'll probably see gamer for the hell of it...looks semi-interesting at least.

I don't agree that American Cinema is garbage. I believe that most MAINSTREAM Hollywood produced American Cinema is garbage. There are plenty of good films out there, just have to know where to look and not rely on Hollywood, or else your movies will be few and far between.

[Priran]

if you die in the game, you die for real
