In later part of the movie when the main character talks to his owner that those NPCs are real person and if you shoot them they are actually die, young owner replies they are just psycho, I... don’t care whether they are going to die. What can be possible in the movie is caused by the high technology which also cause the decrease of human’s dignity& Full Review

Okay, so I thought I was gonna love this movie because the previews make it look awesome, but I was disappointed... It was at best a mediocre movie. Good idea, bad storyline, great acting, good graph... ics, but it just didn't hold my attention. The beginning of the movie was horrible, there was just way too much going on. My husband and I aren't surprised that critics gave it a 2. It's a movie that was worth seeing once, but definitely not worth seeing again, and not worth buying at all. Thank god for Gerard Butler, he was yummy to look at the whole time. Full Review

The trouble with Gamer is that it’s weird, but not weird enough for the long haul.Full Review

The audience gets played in Gamer. This latest eye-scraper from writer-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor is as hopped up as their "Crank" pics, but with dour Gerard Butler as a soldier commandeered by a teenage gamer, it's considerably less interactive.Full Review

The technical barrage of visual and digital effects, quick cuts and strobe lighting does produce something akin to the sensation of playing a video game. So why, one wonders, don't potential viewers simply play one instead of watching this pale imitation?Full Review
