Review of Gamer (2001) by Philip P — 11 Nov 2012
The film was so so. It reminded me of movies like The Running Man, The Hunger Games, and Death Race. It even reminded me of movies like Johnny Kneumonic and Universal Soldier. It needed a rewrite. Some scenes were way over the top.
On the positive, there were some good performances in the film. Gerard Butler was very good in the leading role. Michael C. Hall is a great villain in the film. Logan Lerman was ok in his supporting role, but wish he had more screen time. Ludacris's character reminded me of Ice T's character from the movie Johnny Kneumonic. Also the music in the film was really good.
Despite the flaws, the film is still entertaining. I thought it is better than both of the Crank films.
