Gamer

Not completely retarded, plus Dexter was quite fun in it.

Also, Peter Petrelli playing a character called Rick Rape just seemed so right.

The 'game' world somehow has this indescribable feel of a game world, and the movement of the characters under gamer control is an accurate representation of in-game avatars.

Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges makes his second appearance in something involving a game, and not only does it make sense this time but you actually don't feel like he is just the token black guy. I mean he is, but it doesn't feel like it. Nah I'm kidding, one of the main antagonists is this really angry psycho dude who happens to be more black than Ludacris, and for the purposes of this movie, more badass.

I can't insult the acting... I would like to but at the end of the day I enjoyed the performances delivered.

Instead I'll insult the premise of the movie.

Once upon a time, roughly two years ago, it was leaked that James Cameron was working on a movie that involved humans taking control of the bodies of mindless drones breed for such a purpose. Somebody else in Hollywoodland said "Hey, that's a good idea, there are probably a few ways we can cash in on that. I wonder what it's like to have an original idea? Ah well, time for more cocaine."

So a quick fix action movie starring zero big names slips out just in time to beat Avatar to the box office.

Apart from that it's dead on. There's the usual Bill Gates bashing that you expect from every pseudo-real world computer movie because everyone on the planet wishes that they could make the kind of money Bill Gates made out of Microsoft (and anyone who claims otherwise is nothing but a liar) but probably never will because there are only a limited number of generation defining inventions that can exist at one time.

Did I say Dexter was fun? Because he really was.

Gerard Butler wasn't bad either... at least he didn't have a guitar this time.

One thing that did give it a hairline fracture compared to real world gaming, at no point did any of the main characters pause over a corpse and repeatedly crouch over them...

Rating: C

(Seriously, the guy controlling Gerard Butler is supposed to be 17, I don't believe for a second that he never tried to tea-bag any of his victims)
