I have only seen a poster and half a trailer for this film, but I feel I can speak with certainty when I say this film will suck. Gerard Butler is a fine actor, so I expect he will give an adequate performance, but I don't expect that he has much to work with from the script.
As far as I can tell this film is about convicts who are used as live video game characters who experience what happens in the game in real life. I believe this film already came out only it was about convicts driving cars and trying to kill each other and I believe it flopped as well. It's a dumb premise, it's been done, and this film is so forgettable that I have already half forgotten what film I was talking about while typing this. Benny suggests you rent Running Man instead because it has the same basic plot only with Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger in it, which is always good.
Gamer may, however, have some nice violence and explosions and maybe even an unnecessary sex scene, so I'm giving it the Frat Boy Seal.
Quality: * (For Gerard Butler)
Entertainment: * * *
