Review of The Game (1997) by Gerry H — 01 Oct 2014
Story: Nicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone. In the year of his 48th birthday (the age his father committed suicide) his brother Conrad, who has gone long ago and surrendered to addictions of all kinds, suddenly returns and gives Nicholas a card giving him entry to unusual entertainment provided by something called Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Giving up to curiosity, Nicholas visits CRS and all kinds of weird and bad things start to happen to him.
This is a very Underrated Film even as a David Fincher Film it is I really love this movie I didn't know what I was in for when I saw this just takes alot of twist and turns never saw coming. It keeps a dark tone and creepy tone just like Se7en.
This Movie is also very Beautiful to look at well Shot.
This is one of Michael Douglas greatest Performances as he at first no one likes him at all he is just a asshole to everyone.
Sean Penn is also great for the limited time he is in.
The Ending is... ok, I understood it but it was not the same tone as the rest of the movie was and even David Fincher knows that.
Overall: I love this movie, the ending was just the ehh thing for this movie.
Overall Grade: B+.
