(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "Fans of Crank will probably enjoy the same coked-up brand of cinematography in Gamer, but it fails to add any juice to the film's main set pieces."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 3/5 "While it's a decent and sometimes effective thriller, the guys have done better -- a lot better"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron .5/4 "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."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf C- "About as gloomy as looking into the head of a hacker."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1/4 "Stunningly impersonal and underdeveloped, Gamer consists of pawns posing as people going through the motions of directors Neveldine's and Taylor's ugly orgy of style over substance."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman F "A virulently ugly, unpleasant movie to look at as well as an incredibly stupid one, an insult to the eye as well as the brain."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Add an element of interactivity into the hyperkinetic, repetitive action, plodding narrative, and stupefyingly obvious social commentary, and the potential might exist for something entertaining."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Gamer feels like a video cheapie that just time warped in from the 1990s . . ."   fantastiqueZINE   James O'Ehley 2/5 "Gamer scratches at the shameless energy of the Crank films occasionally, but it mostly goes, as if on rails, to the inevitable conclusion."   Redbox   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/5 "click to read the full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 4/5 "Puts the viscera in visceral but a thought-provoking exploration of our increasingly disconnected society in drag as mindless action."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/5 "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."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich "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."   AMCtv.com   Maitland McDonagh 0.5/3 "Todo lo que pudiera ser interesante en Gamer ya lo dijo en su momento Running man, de manera mucho mejor y más divertida."   Off-Off-Critica   MalaBesta 0.5/4 "Takes itself far too seriously, saying nothing of timeliness or value in a banally overblown fashion."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "It's visually incomprehensible, emotionally empty, thematically nihilistic, almost entirely plotless... and it thinks those are virtues."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "Gamer is a laborious bit of sci-fi grimness that dully updates The Running Man for the 21st century."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager "Neveldine & Taylor certainly have no shortage of ideas but their fundamental flaw is that as filmmakers, they have no idea of how to properly execute them."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/5 "The film is a cacophonous mess without a single interesting character."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "For starters, it's just plain goofy."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1
