Gamer (2009)

Future entrepreneur, Ken Castle, has created a technology that renders live humans into puppets for the use of others. At first, the technology is used for a real life society sim, but Castle develops a game in which users can take control of convicts and battle in an 'id software' like deathmatch. Consequently, these battles are broadcast live, using poor camera angles, horrible cinematography, and apparently, a freaking strobe light throughout the film.

There really isn't much to say about this movie. It is bad. The story is bad. The acting is bad. The cinematography is bad. And the editing is bad. The only remotely redeemable aspect of this film is the acting of Michael C. Hall (Dexter), who plays Ken Castle. But even that is about as rewarding as receiving a high five after being repeatedly hit over the head with an over-sized dildo.

In short... this film sucks.

Starring: Gerard Butler, Amber Valletta, Michael C. Hall, and Ludacris.
Directed by: Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor
(yeah, this film sucked so much balls that it had to be made by more than one person!)

The Verdict: God Damn Awful
