Gerard Butler Is Player 1

By May 12, 2009 Movies 0 Comment


This is the trailer for Gamer, a movie where Gerard Butler plays a prisoner who fights for his freedom in a game to the death, the “twist” being that he’s controlled by some snot-nosed kid — like in a videogame. As FilmDrunk so eloquently puts it, “Gee, I wonder if he’s a former green beret/CIA Agent/Delta Force
soldier who was wrongly imprisoned, and who’ll have to take down the
game’s mastermind if he ever wants to see his supermodel
wife/supermodel girlfriend/supermodel daughter again.” You just might possibly be right, sir!

Still, the movie looks delightfully horrible, and the fact that it stars Ludicris and Milo “Peter Petrelli” Ventimiglia as a guy named Rick Rape is like the awful cherry on top. I understand this makes me part of the problem.
