Gamer is a 2009 sci-fi/action film written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, starring Gerard Butler as John "Kable" Tillman, a death row inmate who is forced to battle against other prisoners in an "online game" (not really online...) called Slayers (no relation to the light novel/anime), with their every move controlled by a young gamer's remote device. If they survive 30 matches, they get a full pardon.To the players, Kable and the other inmates are just simulated characters. But to a resistance group that opposes the game's now-billionaire inventor Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall), Kable, who has just survived his record-setting 27th match, is a critical piece of their plan to end the sinister inventor's form of high-tech slavery.See kill.switch, an earlier concept of a sociopathic player controlling a person. | |

This Loser Is You | |
| Gamer / int_15184afb | comment |
This Loser Is You: It's a film about "video games" controlled by actual human beings in depraved - either sexually OR violently - situations, and aside from the MLG player behind Kable, what other gamers we see are disgusting, morbidly obese perverts and sadistic, murderous sociopaths with no regard for human life. Even Simon has his moments, and in general, he just doesn't care about the fact he's killing real humans - for him, it's a game. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Gamer / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: People seem to have absolutely no regard for human life. It makes some sense in Slayers considering they're death row inmates society no longer cares for but the same attitude is shown in Society with innocent people controlled by sociopathic gamers to act out twisted pleasures for the sake of money. Not to mention Castle is controlling society by providing a solution to the overpopulation of the prison system threatening to bankrupt the US and the impending collapse of the US health system. The economy is apparently so awful large numbers of people choose to sign up to be avatars for Society knowing they could be raped, crippled, or killed to have some source of income. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
| Gamer / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: It's a particularly nasty deconstruction of First Person Shooters and social simulators like The Sims, with actual people being controlled by players as avatars for the games. The "Society" game is a very sickening take on Rule 34 and Second Life due to the above reason. In one truly depraved moment, a Society avatar is injured with her arm split open and bleeding profusely. This is a real woman in physical pain (she's visibly crying), but her player - a balding man - forces her to laugh maniacally and lick the blood off the wound for his own sadistic amusement. | |

Psycho for Hire: Hackman slaughtered a dozen people on the outside just so he could be locked up and enjoy all the death he can cause in the battlefield of Slayers. He teams up with Castle for the sole purpose to get free reign to murder Kable and anyone else he feels like. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Gamer / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Way, way, waaaaaay over on the Cynical end. People are depicted as being generally depraved, sadistic, amoral monsters with no regard for each others' lives who will willingly sacrifice actual, real people by the thousands for entertainment. Those people are almost all volunteers, but are generally doing because they have no other option, and there are no safety features in place if the avatars are hurt of pushed too far. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Gamer / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Castle first tries to sell his Mind Control Nanites to the military, it folds, then turns it into 2 games, with plans to disperse it aerially to Take Over the World. Honestly, if he had skipped right to that last step (and we don't know if he didn't) all it would take is one hacker to turn us ALL into zombies. | |

Alcohol Is Gasoline | |
| Gamer / int_41c6c75d | comment |
Alcohol Is Gasoline: In an particularly egregious example, "Humanz" pulls strings to aid Tillman in his escape, and smuggle vodka into his prison for him to use as vehicle fuel. Prior to the match Tillman chugs the vodka to disrupt the nanites and his "gamer's" control over his actions. When combat begins, Tillman makes a dash for an abandoned car park where he pukes the alcohol into a truck's gas tank, hotwires the car, and speeds away. | |

| Gamer / int_52a9bc4e | comment |
Rape by Proxy: The citizens of Society generally suffer from this as depraved players control them and force their avatars to engage in all manners of sexual depravity with each other. Rick Rape nearly rapes Kable's wife with consent by her perverted controller. Rick Rape would also be a victim as he was probably just a normal guy who's forced to sexually assault multiple people by his player. | |

| Gamer / int_6116ca8d | comment |
Hellhole Prison: In a similar vein to Death Race, with prisoners being used in wargames for the amusement of millions of people. Even aside from that, the movie goes out of its way to depict the prison being as horrible as possible, with an inmate going mad and ripping his own throat out eliciting nothing more than an annoyed shrug from the guards. | |

Neck Snap | |
| Gamer / int_c2fc1ae | comment |
Neck Snap: Multiple: Kable finally disposes of Hackman this way. The guy is so ungodly tough however, that Kable has to do it twice before he's actually dead. Hackman casually kills a member of Society in this manner. | |

Baddie Flattery: After Kable delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle on Castle's goons, Castle simply stands by and cheerfully compliments Kable with a simple "You're awesome!" | |

Heroic Willpower | |
| Gamer / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Castle tries to manipulate Kable into killing his own daughter, but he resists, and then Simon's control allows him to attack Castle. He and Simon wrestle for control over Kable, but Kable tells Castle to imagine his knife stabbing him. | |

Shout-Out: May be a bit of a stretch, but in the first battle sequence, in the middle of the warehouse is a mysterious-looking guy in a blue suit, holding a briefcase... | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Gamer / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Castle, after Kable pulls a sort of Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?. Since Castle has a neural link to Kable's Restraining Bolt, all Kable has to do is get Castle to imagine being beaten to death by Kable. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Gamer / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Castle is a master schemer that manipulates multiple parties and outplays them without much effort. Unfortunately, he let this go to this head, which is ultimately his undoing. | |

There Are No Girls on the Internet | |
| Gamer / int_d64480d2 | comment |
There Are No Girls on the Internet: Kable's wife is being controlled by a sweaty, Fat Bastard and its implied many of the other women in "Society" are too. Also inverted; one scene shows a male character whom Nika is flirting with is controlled by a woman. | |

Curbstomp Battle: The final confrontation between Kable and Hackman. Mostly because Castle was in control of Hackman. | |

Gorn | |
| Gamer / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: The game Slayers, since it involves televised gun battles, has highly explicit violence. This is gorn for the audience within the movie, and may be gorn for the real world audience, too (YMMV). | |

Artistic License – Cars | |
| Gamer / int_eea06f9a | comment |
Artistic License – Cars: The strategy Tillman uses to fuel the truck in the above example would not even come close to working in reality. It takes very concentrated ethanol to power a vehicle and the potable alcohol he drank has been further diluted by his body processing it. | |
