Watch Gamer Movie Online Streaming No Downloading Reality and video games merge in this high-concept sci-fi action thriller from Crank creators Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. In the not too distant future, mind-control technology allows humans to control the actions and movements of other humans, allowing reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) to create the ultimate video game. It's called "Slayers," and it's a mass-scale, multiplayer online first-person shooter that's as controversial as it is popular. In the world of gamers, Simon (Logan Lerman) is a rock star; miraculously managing to keep his character alive week after week, he racks up frags like Billy Mitchell jumps barrels. But unlike Mitchell's Mario, Simon's video-game avatar is a living, breathing human being named Kable (Gerard Butler). Defying the odds to keep Kable running and gunning though even the most explosive battles, Simon captures the imagination of a global audience. Torn from his family, thrown into prison, and forced to fight against his will, Kable realizes that his only hope of ever seeing his family again is to somehow escape the game, reclaim his identity, and expose Castle's dehumanizing technology on live television. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Release Date Gamer Sep 4, 2009 Wide | |

Review For Gamer |
Crank's Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor direct with their usual flashy brio, and basso profundo Keith David has a sublime cameo as a cop indignant at the thought of a pistachio peanut butter sandwich. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
In the press materials Mr. Butler informs us enthusiastically that the movie "has all the hallmarks of Neveldine's and Taylor's sick, yet genius minds." At least he's half right. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
Bodies and buildings blow up but this is carnage of the most lacklustre sort, with any momentum petering out long before it's "game over." Jason Anderson-Toronto Star
It's a deeply cynical and joyless point of view, completely lacking in the winking visual style that made Crank worth a look. Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Times
Crass, nonstop action triumphs over narrative and character in this movie-length simulation of a video game. Kirk Honeycutt-Hollywood Reporter
As the brutish Kable, Gerard Butler must find out who's pulling his strings, but it's the audience whose chain gets yanked by this headache-inducing techno-violent mishmash. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly
Like so many movies, the set-up and presentation of Gamer is awesome. The story, characters and writing... not so much. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
Wait for this one on Cable... jeez I'm saying that a lot. What is really going on in 2009? Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel-3BlackChicks Review
Neveldine and Taylor simply spray their venom across the screen with little vision, once again making a friendly trip to the multiplex feel like undeserved torture. Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com
What to make of short-attention-span artists satirizing a short-attention-span world? [Blu-ray] Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Incoherent and interminable... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
At times striking, and at others silly, and and yet at others sickening, but never too stupid, at least not compared to so much else flash and pop peddled to the masses these days. William Goss-Cinematical
a big, loud mess that loses its few good ideas in a morass of convoluted storytelling that it has, sadly, confused with stylish innovation Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
A streak of genius runs through this dystopian vision of a world in where VR games are played with real people ... it touches some exposed nerves before retreating into clichés. Maitland McDonagh-AMCtv.com
Gamer feels like a video cheapie that just time warped in from the 1990s . . . James O'Ehley-fantastiqueZINE
Like the 'Crank' films, this is an absurdly exaggerated, outlandishly crass and alternately inventive and appalling depiction of a man violently fighting to liberate himself from the forces that seek to control him... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
An injection of adrenaline straight to the eye - which isn't entirely a bad thing. Kim Newman-Empire Magazine
If you are a gamer, and like shooters, science fiction, action, and wouldn't consider gratuitous boob shots gratuitous, you won't feel short-changing on leaving the cinema after watching Gamer. Daniel Etherington-Film4
Can I get back the ninety minutes of my life that I squandered sitting through this miasmic upchuck of techno sludge? What was the story again? Sukhdev Sandhu-Daily Telegraph
With its nano-technology synching different brains together, spyware programs attached to DNA, and a double dose of bad taste served up with a side-dish of splattered brains and skull fragments, Gamer is still mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Rob Daniel-Sky Movies
It won't win points for originality or depth, but the Crank boys are still on their game as far as sex, violence and sheer unapologetic excess go. High concept, high octane, highly likely to end up a post-pub staple. Tony Horkins-Total Film
While packed with guns, girls and gore, there's none of the gleeful knowingness that made their earlier films such guilty pleasures. David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
Edited with the finesse of a toddler on a sherbet dib-dab rush, the film dashes from one over-stylised battle sequence to the next. James White-SFX Magazine
The action sequences are disappointing, there's a distinct lack of wit or invention in the direction and it's also impossible to care about the characters when they're so thinly sketched. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
The film is a cacophonous mess without a single interesting character. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor deserve some credit for being upfront about their desire to deliver purely adrenaline-driven action cinema and for making it look brilliant. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
