Profile of Gamer

Gamer can be described as rough, suspenseful, and bleak. The plot revolves around a future dystopia, imprisonment or confinement, and imaginary themes. The main genres are thriller, action, and sci-fi. In approach, Gamer is fantastical and serious. The storytelling is fast paced. It is set, at least in part, in a prison. Gamer is well suited for a boys' night. Note that it involves strong sexual content, strong violent content, and nudity.

Summary of Gamer

Each week Kable (Gerard Butler), a death-row inmate, battles his fellow prisoners in a violent online game called "Slayers," his every move controlled by a young gamer's remote device. To the players, Kable and the other inmates are just simulated characters. But, to a resistance group that opposes the game's inventor, Kable is a critical component of their plan to end the inventor's form of high-tech slavery.

Excellent effects and sound engineering. Pure science fiction, in that it projects current tech trends into the future and tells a story which exploits resulting social tensions. Actually a very moral cautionary tale. Not for the squeamish, however. Read and rate it
