Gamer (m. Gerald Butler / v. den Crank Machern)
Naja, es werden vor allem das "LSD-Editing" und die Story bemängelt - und vielleicht weil "Crank 2" schon nicht so prall war...

(...) Their admirable attempts at creating the look and feel of a realistic high-tech video game do work although there are a few times where all of the whacked-out fast-paced visuals make the movie as unwatchable as "Domino" or Jonas Akerlund's "Spun." While there are more than a few impressive set pieces with motocross bikes and explosions, there are noticeable spots in the movie where they skimped on the cost for the sake of a gag. That erratic nature of the production values are hard to overlook.
When they have nothing else to show, they throw in a lot of swearing or gory violence or sex. The sad fact is that they're basically tapping into the basest desires of the testosterone set, their target audience, so can we truly hold it against them? As a fan of the innovation they displayed in "Crank," it's almost insulting to think they might deliberately skimp on the character development to focus more on filling every scene with lots of shooting, explosions, blood splatter and topless women making out. Any intelligence or thought that went into developing the central premise is lost as the movie constantly aims for the lowest common denominator, rather than anyone with a brain who might want to think about the more serious implications of this society. When they start reusing gags from "Crank," one might start to wonder whether N&T are more than one-trick ponies forced to fall back on old tricks when they realize the main story isn't working as planned
The Bottom Line:
There's absolutely no question that some will find this movie entertaining--others might even consider it semi-intelligent at least compared to normal action-thrillers--but "Gamer" is nothing more than the meeting of Hollywood "What if" high concept with two young filmmakers' idea of what young males want to see at the movies. Maybe they're right, but we should pray to whatever higher powers there may be that that they're not. Ultimately, they've made a video game movie that leaves out the most important part--the ability to control the characters and take them in more interesting directions.
