I didn’t buy the story. Gamers are not credible: they are supposed to be at the top of the leaderboard! And they play like morons (even sissies) fat boy is ridiculous. It’s doesn’t even explain “why”. What is the purpose of that CTI CEO ?

(I didn't guess the plot twists which is always a sign of a good film for me!) Think Hunger Games, meets the Matrix - If More
