Gamer is a cult favorite among video gamers. It’s a movie about the future, where the minds of state prisoners are linked via computer to the consoles of game players around the world. The gamers play a mind-controlling game with death row convicts who are forced to battle in a to the death. The brutally violent movie is full of bloody special effects that will appease the bloodthirst of action fans.

Convict Kable, played by Gerard Butler, is hell bent on escaping the game and proving his innocence. Kable needs the help of Simon, a skilled teenage gamer who controls Kable in the game, in order to get past the game’s creator Ken Castle.

Weird movie, but not too bad. Gamer is one of the best Hacker movies out there.
