Revealing mistakes: Another mistake of writing "kable" using Arabic letters is that they are not connected. In languages where Arabic letters are used for writing, letters of a word should be connected otherwise it is not readable (or very difficult to read). more

Violence, Nudity, and Science Fiction meet, 19 September 2009
Author: hyprsleepy from Saint Louis, MO

The movie has interesting ideas and explores them but never gets "slow" or "boring". The composition is about 80% action and 20% social commentary.

"Gamer" is a dark, edgy, gory, hard hitting film that has it's serious moments but doesn't get too preachy about it. The game "Slayers" is the one that primarily drives the story and is similar to the Roman gladiator style of life - fight and do well enough you are set free.

The game "Society" was extremely interesting to me. I mean think about this, what if people decided to let others control them and tell them what to do? Those in the BDSM scene already know what I'm talking about, but what if you were a normal person who just wanted some easy money? Should we be okay with this as long as it is consensual?

I personally thought some scenes were smoking hot.

If you go to see Gamer be prepared to enjoy an action flick that has more than just hot bodies and lots of explosions (although it has that too)!
