Review of The Game (1997) by Tim S — 11 Sep 2013
David Fincher's The Game is at once a noir-ish take on the grand conspiracy genre, while at the same time being a bit of a cynical take on the genre itself. It's a tight thriller that raises more questions than it answers, and after the success of Se7en, it also helped solidify David Fincher as a directorial force to be reckoned with.
Following Michael Douglas down the rabbit hole is an exhilarating experience. You never know what's going to happen next and you're on the edge of your seat from the time it begins until it ends.
It's a terrific film that needs to be revisited more now that it's out on Criterion Blu-ray. Very recommended.
