The Game

Worst birthday present ever.

Like most of Fincher's output this is a stylish, moody and unique experience. The plot is less than amazing but the premise is awesome, the mystery fuelling our curiosity throughout. There are two obvious drawbacks: the lack of rewatchability and the somewhat underwhelming ending. The first-time watch is a great one, though.

Preposterously over-the-top morality fable. Douglas did well, the twists and turns hold interest for a while, there are some amusing lines, but in addition to the fundamental absurdity of the whole thing, it is stretched out far too long, to the point that the viewer ceases to care which of the possible alternatives will turn out to be the filmmakers' preferred choice of denouement. The conclusion on which they settled is possibly the least interesting they could have chosen, and the most trite.

Absolutely wonderful, yet all the lukewarm reviews are right, this film takes the concept of suspension of disbelief and stretches it way, way, way beyond its breaking point. It wasn't a problem to me though, because it goes so far out there that it no longer becomes something to believe, it's a fever dream to be experienced. And that experience is a wonderfully created and directed maze.

A non stop keeps you on the edge of your seat film A lot of head game's mistrust and what's reality and what's fiction Very good movie except for that lame ending
