Gamer
(USA, 2009, 93 minutes)
In the near future, a video game mogul introduces a violent combat game where the players actually direct real-life, flesh and blood people picked from death row; but the star warrior is there for a different reason. Disturbing, none-more-bleak satire disguised as ultra-violent, voyeuristic frenzied action movie, wanting to have its cake and eat it too – and actually succeeding up to a point. Not for the weak or faint of heart.
Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment present a Lakeshore Entertainment/Lionsgate production.
Starring Gerard Butler; Michael C. Hall, Amber Valletta, Logan Lerman, Terry Crews, John Leguizamo, Zoë Bell, John de Lancie, Aaron Yoo, Justin Chase, Noel Gugliemi; with Chris "Ludacris" Bridges; and Kyra Sedgwick.
Directed and written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor; produced by Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Skip Williams, Richard Wright; music by Robert Williamson and Geoff Zanelli; director of photography (Riot!, DeLuxe), Ekkehart Pollack; production designer, Jerry Fleming; costume designer, Alix Friedberg; film editors, Peter Amundson, Fernando Villena, Doobie White; visual design and motion graphics supervisor, Garson Yu; special make-up effects designed and conceived by Christien Tinsley.
