Review of The Game (1997) by Teddy V — 22 Feb 2013
I went to film school with a guy named Andrew who said this was his favorite film of all time. He was a smart guy, but he was still wrong about this one. As far as Douglas flicks go, Wall Street is the Sistine Chapel in comparison, and even Basic Instinct, Douglas's Showgirls for my money, rates higher in my book than this.
And it wasn't directing that got the job done, because Verhoeven made both Basic Instinct and Showgirls, in that order, back to back. Why was Sean Penn in this movie, when he does ... nothing ... whatsoever? I guess he was just thrown in to up the box office pull.
What a dumb movie...
