Review of Gamer (2009) by Casey M — 18 Dec 2010
This movie was pretty damn terrible. I could see moments where the film makers were trying hard to make you realize the brutality of the Game, and make you feel for these inmates, but its impossible. What Gamer fails to do is make you care about any characters at all, and fails to even try to make a character you can connect with.
Every character is forgettable, and I couldn't give a shit if any of them died. The action may have worked if we were actually rooting for anyone, but since Butler's character is so stale and unhuman, there was no suspense to make the action gripping.
This movie just goes through the motions of an action movie, but remains an empty shell. But what can you expect from the Crank guys?
