Very Disappointing

In this massive multiplayer online role-playing game, a gamer's avatar is another human being and death is permanent.

The premise behind Gamer is an interesting one. In this future world, people can give up control of their bodies to someone else and this notion is at the same time seductive and horrific.
But Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are more concerned with gory violen... read more

"5.1.2013, Netflix / Xbox 360 Dexterin musikaalinumero ja Terry Crews ovat syyt antaa tälle edes puolikas lisää. Muuten tämä on kyllä läjä typerää paskaa."

“"Kable's the perfect soldier. He's a tactical killing computer. His only vulnerability is the nanex itself; the ping, the delay between Simon's commands and Kable's ability to execute."

Gamer is essentially the Death Race of the videogame world, topped off with a hint of social satire and filtered through the distinct filmmaking lens of Crank masterminds Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. There is a sci-fi twist, however - the gamers of the story do not control artificial avatars in a computer-generated environment, but are instead given full control over real flesh-and-blood human beings. To be sure, Gamer excels when it's locked in frenetic action mode, but the flick is less successful whenever the bloodshed halts, with the half-baked narrative leaving a lot to be desired.

"28.10 Järkyttävää kuraa, jossa satirisoidaan ihan uskomattomalla laiskuudella videopelejä ja mediayhteiskuntaa epäonnistuen molempien aiheiden suhteen täysin. TVstä tuttu Dexter on kehittänyt kaksi sensaatioiksi noussutta videopeliä. Toisessa pelaaja ohjaa oikeaa ihmistä peliympäristössä, jossa hän voi tehdä ihan mitä haluaa muiden pelaajahahmojen kanssa. Heti konseptin tullessa ilmi elokuva demonstroi, että ihmiset käyttävät tätä peliä vain ja ainoastaan fetissien ja ru"
