Movie Review: “Gamer”

DateFriday, September 4, 2009 at 3:41PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: September 4, 2009

The players: Directors: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor, Writers: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor, Cast: Gerard Butler, Amber Valletta, Michael C. Hall, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Kyra Sedgwick

Facts of interest: Mark Neveldinea and Brian Taylor also directed the "Crank" flicks.

The plot: In a future world, humans spend their time controlling other humans in a deadly online multiplayer game... until one player manages to escape.

Our thoughts: Up-and-coming filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor delivered some highly enjoyable big-screen entertainment in “Crank” and “Crank 2: High Voltage,” but in their latest action spectacle “Gamer,” they fail to deliver the goods. This is by no means a terrible experience, but it’s just not as vibrant as their previous two efforts.

A very short but brand-new, action-packed TV spot for the Gerard Butler vehicle has debuted online, and you can check it out after the jump. If you're looking for a lot of boom and bang, you've got it, for sure!

Five brand-new photos from 'Gamer' debut

DateThursday, July 30, 2009 at 12:25PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

I just got hold of five brand-new images from Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's upcoming explosive action extravaganza "Gamer," which will hit theaters Sept. 4, 2009. Check them out after the jump.

Set in the near future, the film centers on "Slayers," a dangerous mass-scale, multiplayer online game in which humans control other humans.

At the center is Kable (300's Gerard Butler), the superstar and cult hero of "Slayers," the savage, ultraviolent first person shooter game. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week.

Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to save mankind from the game creator's ruthless technology.
