Do I smell cynical marketing ploy by fat movie executives to tap into the growing 'gamer demographic'?

What sort of tot is this? A Running Man meets Tron meets Deathrace mashup.

I wonder if the protagonist needs to get his 'game face on' in the film? Cue drug taking.

Guess you like movies which have like zero plot and just blow stuff up? I have COD4 for that ;)

Same old, same old tbh. I can smell plots in there from about a dozen movies.....Running Man, Escape from New York, Matrix, The Island, Death Race, etc etc.

No end of movies can provide the same thrills and spills, it comes across to me as pandering to the usual audiences. A film these days ought to be about more than how many 'splodes it has in it :roll:

Save your cash and watch Hard Boiled instead. Still the best 'silly stunts' action movie around, and it did it before anyone else did :)

It's hard to have much hope for it, isn't it? :oops:

I'm no movie snob (I'm a big fan of 80s one-man-army films for one thing :) ), but Christ, most action movies these days can't even touch the likes of some of Van Damme's 90's work :shock:
