When computer gaming starts becoming more and more life-like, what happens next? Taking realism to the next level, Ken Castle (Hall) is a multi-millionaire who developed a realistic game known as 'Society' where users can create real humans. Humans are administered Nanex, a cell which takes over the brain and makes in into a robot that accepts commands from another user elsewhere. An extension of this concept is 'Slayer' a game where convicts can fight in real battle in a bid to gain freedom. John Tillman aka Kable (Butler) is Slayer's most accomplished player and is controlled by a young boy, Simon (Lerman). Castle's program has taken over the world and at the pace at which it is growing, the entire world would come under his command. Kable, meanwhile, has a story in the past and has some scores to settle for which he is desperate to get out. If it is a god action movie your looking for which has a sensible story to narrate, then this movie would do. It is a pretty good watch all except the last 20 minutes. The ending is horrible, uneventful and quite bland. It seemed as if everyone was in a hurry to pack it up and did a quick fix end to thing. Had they given a little bit of thought in making the climax more interesting, the movie could be a decent entertainer.

Thumbs up: Good action, unique story

Thumbs down: Boring end
