Made a year after David Cronenberg's eXistenZ, Avalon is a dark and surreal movie where improvished people play a game called Avalon for fun and profit. In many dream-like sequences, the heroine plays in a FPS game, where players are gunned down in John Woo slow-mo shoot outs. Like a cross between "A Better Tommorrow" - the movie, and "Counter-strike" - that infernal FPS game, I cringe and await the inevitable, "FIRE IN THE HOLE! GO GO GO!".
