I liked this movie a lot. There certainly were plenty of plot twists. And, they made sense in the movie.

Decently original, but I wasn't terribly crazy about it.

It loses its steam once you know what's going on, but David Fincher knows how to craft a story, and this one will leave you reeling that first time through. A great performance by Michael Douglas helps elevate this dark, moody thriller.

David Fincher impresses again with this psychological thriller involving what could be Douglas's best performance. Although the second viewing is a let down, it still keeps you guessing not to mention Fincher's awesome cinematography.

Fantastic Thriller Film

The Game - one of the best thriller movies I've ever seen.

The story for The Game is not only unique, but fantastically orchestrated. Fincher almost out-did himself with this story, making a believable, interesting, unique story that really pulled through in the end. Although I'll never have the same look for the movie again after finishing the tale, I'll always love this film. The angles of the shots, the actors within the frame, everything is just wonderful.

Along with Fincher's wonderful cinematography is a great cast that makes their characters shine on screen. Each character is really brought to life through emotions, action, and most of all, each other.

An Incredibly Enjoyable 2 Hours

A "One Watch Wonder," I define this as any movie that reveals what's going on at the end of the film that basically makes it virtually impossible to rewatch. Some films that fall into this category demand a rewatch, so that you can see if the ending works through out the film, which makes it that much more satisfying, but this isn't one of them. A "One Watch Wonder" is by no means a bad film, most of them are quite brilliant actually. For this particular film, the ending is so unexpected that it makes it all that much more enjoyable. If you love films that make you think and wonder how it'll end, this movie is definitely for you.
