Preview: Gamer (2009)

Synopsis:

In the near future, death row inmates will be forced to participate in staged wars as part of their sentence. However, their participation is only physical as their bodies are controlled by video gamers intent on getting the most intense, most realistic simulation possible.

• Poster: B

Review:

Being controlled by someone else is perfectly evoked in this poster, and while it feels like it could have been done better, I can't make much of a suggestion as to how.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Other than a a concept to make an action movie, there is little to suggest the film will delve deeper into the implications of such video game development on our morality.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
