Trivia:
The opening montage of time-lapse shots and other scenes of the world where we see ads for Kable and/or graffiti of Ken Castle overlaid on buildings or walls are mostly taken from Ron Fricke's wordless film Baraka (1992), for example, the shots of the Giza Pyramids, India, homeless man sleeping under a bridge among others. more
Goofs:
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
Quotes:
Ken Castle: [seeing Hackman] Look at it. The new face of Slayers. Pure, crystalized horror. Two stories high and bathed in bloody red. He is what they want.
Geek Leader: They love Kable.
Ken Castle: They do now, but when they watch their hero die right in front of their eyeballs so sharp and vivid it feels like you could reach out and touch the wet flesh, they're going to change their point of view. They'll be seduced by the power of violence; the dominance. It's human nature.
Geek Leader: Kable's made it through 28 battles. Every player in the game has tried to take him out.

Terrible direction and editing...a total mess., 12 September 2009
1/10
Author: noahbeen from United States

I can't recall the last time I walked time I walked out on a film...and I don't think I've ever asked for my money back, but "Gamer" was so bad right out of the gate, it set a precedent for me.

For the record, I love a good action film with gunfire, explosions, blood and noise. Well, there were certainly all of those elements in the opening minutes of the film, but you have no idea how they relate tot the story. "Gamber" has falling into the lazy trend of directing and editing which uses the cop-out that if the camera is moving fast enough, and you pile on as many edits as possible, it might SEEM like a decent action scene. As is always the case with this sloppy approach, you can't really tell what's going on. Of course, you know people are shooting and being shot, you just don't know which people or on which side.
