First of, the idea appeared to be a concept already explored, namely in the film "Condemned" with Steve Austin.
Although the underlining concept has been approached before, this film is not "Condemned" and does not pretend to be. "Gamer" is a gory and gruesome action thriller, which aims to be looking at society's not so distant future when Reality Gaming is taken to the next level.
Personally, I loved the idea and thought the film was entertaining. Gerard Butler certainly has changed since titles of "The Ugly Truth" or "PS I Love You" and is well deserved of the lead role in this film. Believable in every aspect of his character.
A definite must see.
