Gamer (2009)

A man framed for a crime he didn't commit tries to win his freedom by being part of a real life video game. The players are injected with nanites which enables the gamers to control the players every move. To the gamers its just a game, even though they are competing using real people.

If a player lives through all 30 levels of the game, he wins his freedom. The game is broadcast as a live event with millions of viewers rooting for their favorite player and/or gamer. However the people in charge of the game know that it is rigged and no one will ever win.

This is basically Running Man using video games instead of game shows. If you're looking for action, guns, special effects, and video games, this is your movie. But if you're looking for character development or subtlety, you won't enjoy this.
