I loved this film. I think why most people here are criticizing it because they don't understand it. You have to be into the whole virtual world, mmorpg culture to understand it. I have played a lot of those kind of games, mostly Entropia Universe and Second Life. This movie is a very good satire (and maybe also a warning?) to the virtual reality games culture.
Good acting by Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall, the lead from Dexter. Good action scenes. I like the way Gerard Butler moves in the fight scenes just like a character from Doom or CS would move. Its little things like these that i think you have to have experience from virtual reality and first person shooter games to fully appreciate.
Anywho, i don't want to give away to much. I had low expectations about this movie, because i had read so many negative reviews about it here on IMDb and elsewhere.
People reading this, and wondering if you should see Gamer or not, i will say, Give it a chance. This is good solid Hollywood action.
I give it 8/10.
