Guerre virtuelle, balles réelles. Dans le futur, la réalité virtuelle est entrée dans une nouvelle dimension. La technologie peut aujourd’hui offrir des sensations et des expériences grandeur nature qui se confondent avec la réalité. Alors qu’on pensait les dernières limites atteintes, Zaidatsu Corp réunit en secret les plus grands noms du gaming pour tester le jeu de guerre ultime. Après avoir récupéré leur équipement et enfilé leur armure, ils pénètrent dans la zone de combat. Mais lorsqu’au premier impact, l’un d’eux ne se relèvent pas de ses blessures, il est déjà trop tard : ce n’est plus un jeu. (Condor)

A solid action B-movie. The most interesting idea is definitely the one where a group of random people sign up for a trial of a new video game where the winner can get $100,000, but everything changes when the game involves the lives of the participants. A great looking virtual world that is very close to a computer game, players are tasked with going through 26 levels killing terrorists (they have vests and medkits and the best score per level counts). Luckily it's also R-rated and there are plenty of shootouts and as we already know there has to be an asshole in every team. The final twist was also a surprise, the downside is the behaviour of the characters, which started to get on my nerves after a while. A strong three stars and a recommendation. 69%.

A fairly inventive sci-fi film, which managed to present its premise quite well despite not having a very strong story. The "game" that is being played here is captured perfectly, without using any elaborate special effects. In this respect, I must definitely praise the film, because it succeeded.
