I remember seeing this movie for the first time a long time ago, it blew me away. Great Story.

The Game (1997) 2/2 story 2/2 acting 1/2 pacing 2/2 dialogue 1/1 directing, technical aspect 1/1 living up to its genre OMG Mind Blowing Story and The End Result wat an amazing Plot. Michael Douglas & Sean Penn Were awesome It wasn't bad But at times it was slow pacing Love The Dialogue it Automatically Drew me in Definitely Love The Directing

The best thing about this is you are never sure what is real. David Fincher does a great job directing and setting the mood. Michael Douglas's descent into madness is fantastic and by the end he is going all out. I liked the ending but I can see why it wouldn't work for everyone.

Just strange and different. Not sure how one reviewer here said originality is lacking. There's not many movies like the Game. The end is disappointing yet likeable. Spoiler: Since a once boring stiff with not much to live for. Now expects excitement around every corner.

A film which manipulates the central protaganist through a game that is so manipulative to the viewer as well, it even tells the audience throughout exactly how manipulative it is. Yet this is a film that actually rewards it audience even more on repeat viewings, both to spot the visual and spoken clues to the central mystery of what exactly is going on, and to remind yourself just how thoroughly manipulated you and the audience were the first time you watched it. One of Fincher's most underrated films and Michael Douglas is ideal for the role he perfected in the 80s. The Game perhaps stretches credibility to breaking point in its final moments, in order to serve the cathartic experience that both the central character and the audience need to go through, but this is still a trip worth taking and repeating.
