G@mer (2001) Reviews

A video-game obsessed street thug imprisoned for a failed robbery attempts to turn over a new leaf by designing a revolutionary video game that could be his ticket to a brighter future. When twenty-two year old loser Tony (Saïd Taghmaoui) isn't out on the streets mugging people for local mob boss Albert (Jean-Pierre Kalfon), he spends most of his time locked away playing video games. Derived of his favorite pastime after being sentenced to eight months in prison for a failed robbery, Tony draws on his platform experience to develop a revolutionary new type of game. Now if he can just convince a prominent buyer that the idea is in fact profitable, Tony may have something to look forward to once he's released back out into the real world. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
