“The Controller” just popped up on Netflix’s feed of new “Watch Instantly” titles. The description killed me:
After his wife is abducted, billionaire William Fence (Bob Rue) has eight hours to win an online video game called Liberation Force Earth if he wants to see his wife again, so he enlists the country’s top-ranked video game players for the cyber-rescue. This scattered group of ragtag gamers, communicating with each other via online headsets, must work together as a team if they want to save the day in this inventive technological adventure.
It has not gone unnoticed by the gaming community, apparently. (Make sure to check out the trailer—the tackle at the end is my favorite.) A watching party is most necessary.
