Day 64 and I watched Gamer. Gamer is a lot like Running Man. There's convicts fighting for their freedom. Fighting to the death of course, but they're convicts so people accept the blood baths. Gerard Butler's character is close to getting out and we join him as he's running the last 5 out of 30 games he needs for freedom. You know, I was not expecting much coming into this movie. First of all, movies based on games rarely work out in the slightest sense of the phrase "work out." Second, Gerard Butler's choice of movies range from romantic comedy to romantic comedy to 300. Pretty inconsistent Mr. Butler. This is pretty solid though, as long as you don't expect an oscar-winning performance or a romantic comedy. Plus there's teeny references to all you nerds out there like me. Like teabagging. The action is pretty decent too, other than being underwhelming in the audio department at parts. I don't know if that's on purpose to detach you from the action as if you were watching a video game or something and if that was the case it was unnecessary. Give this a shot if you're thinking about watching an action movie sometime.
This is going to earn itself a cool 3.7 homing bullet shells things out of 5
