I'm no longer trusting my friends future reviews, on anything. |
Gamer can be hard to watch for a conservative viewer, especially for its frenetically shot action which is very true to the FPS game aesthetics (death is reduced to a mere frag). So far, action movies usually highlighted its most dramatic moments via slow motion, thus giving the audience the opportunity to elevate these scenes to a cult status. Gamer is a big fuck-off to all this, and takes an innovative approach.
The ideas it presents are interesting, too. Here's a great analysis of it.
(I understand any of this won't change anyone's mind, but it is a good read.)
