Gerard Butler stars as Kable, condemned criminal and globally famous super-soldier in the ultimate multiplayer game, Slayers. Human controllers direct each thought and move of real-life prison inmates battling in hyper-intense environments - where the goal is freedom and the penalty is death. But when Kable suddenly decides he wants out, his rebellion threatens the twisted plans of game creator Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall, TV's Dexter) who will stop at nothing to crush the renegade commando in this taut, adrenaline-packed action-thriller.

Gerard Butler with dirty muscles and a machine gun, need I say more? Seriously though, I think people are overthinking the premise of what is largely total fiction. If you take it for what it is which is 90 minutes of light entertainment where there is eye candy and things get blown up, alot, it is not a bad movie! I have never understood people who look too deeply into what is essentially an action movie..... What more do you want from it?Good concept, Bad execution - Sprock
The idea underlying this movie is excellent. The transition from concept to film could have been much better though. The ending felt rushed and unrealistic, leaving me with an unsatisfied feeling. Not a bad show but it would have been much better with a bigger budget and a more thought through screen play. The would have lended itself better to a mini series.Guns & fighting, and not much else - Spacey
The description of this film says "... action thriller from Crank creators...". Reading that after I saw the movie does not leave me surprised.
The actions sequences appeared to be good, but they happened so fast, and with so many cut-aways and different camera angles per scene, that I had trouble determining exactly what I saw. It might be suggested that it is supposed to demonstrate the pace of what the slayers are facing, but it takes away from the movie.
I thought there was better acting from Butler in 300, P.S. I love You, and the Tomb Raider movie he did. He isn't very convincing as someone who has lost his family and is wrongly imprisoned.
I found the plot to be silly. The end result of the entire movie is one man's creation and his misguided attempt at control. It's similar to plots I've seen in "Street Fighter", cartoons, and read in children's books.
They could have done much better for this film.
