Summary: Discovering the object of the game IS the object of the game
Review: PLOT: Control freak financer Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) gets a strange birthday present from troubled brother Conrad (Sean Penn): a live-action game that changes his life. The Game is a good thinking person's thriller that grabs your attention. The DVD: Video images are sharp and detailed. The 5.1 soundtrack delivers wide sound, while dialogue is good, surround is not particularly discrete. The only extras on the DVD are bios and trailers.

Summary: HUGE twist!
Review: This movie is so complex and thought provoking... it has you guessing the entire time! It is unlike any suspense or mystery movie you'll every see. The twist at the end is amazing and I guarantee you WON'T see it coming. I'd recommend this movie to pretty much everyone. It will definitely leave you with a smile of amazement!

Summary: Will keep you guessing until the very end
Review: This movie is outstanding because it is really different than most movies today. I had no idea what was REALLY going on until the ending, which has to be one of the best movie endings I have ever seen. Michael Douglas is excellent. You'll love this film!

Summary: An Average DVD
Review: The Game is a good movie - a cool plot with twists abound. This said, it's not quite as cool the second time you see it, let alone a third or fourth time! On the technical side, the visual quality is below average for DVD - the picture isn't very sharp and it suffers from a very low bit rate. In fact, the standard screen version is crisper and more colorful - an obvious disappointment. The sound is 5.1 channels of ... well, people talking and that's about it. You only get the trailer & bios for the extras, which is somewhat of a disappointment. Overall, this is a rental at best; a one-time-wonder movie with sub-par production values.

Summary: More Interesting Than The Game of Life
Review: A control freak(Douglas) gets a gift from his brother. A "ticket" into the Game. Douglas is taken out of control once he is ensnared into this all to real Game. With a suprise twist ending, this movie is great for suspense thriller fans. The first time I saw this film, I kept thinking, what the hell is going on. I was captured by it, I wouldn't even get up to go to the bathroom. This DVD is essential to your suspense collection. Also, check out Sixth Sense and Usual Suspects.

Summary: left my friends and i awake thinking
Review: The Game was directed by Fight Club director David Fincher and in many ways it prepares the viewer for the twists and turns of Fight Club. Michael Douglas as control junky investment banker Nicholas Van Orton is given an invitation to "the game" by his younger brother Conrad (Sean Penn). Before Van Orton knows it the game has started and it takes him on journey where he is in the dark so to speak and he never really gets out of it until it is over. Other reviews have said that it has no sense of humor, this movie doesn't need one. it's mysterious and intellectual strength is more than enough to keep most people fixed to it. Others have said that the ending is anticlimactic. If one cannot appreciate the ending of this movie, they haven't been paying attention. If you want a movie that makes you think, this movie is for you. my friends and i started it sometime after midnight a couple years ago and we didn't sleep for an hour after it was done because it made us think that much. the movie buff will not be disappointed.

Summary: Please except the ending
Review: Everyone I know who saw The Game hated the ending (as I'm sure many of you did), but it does make sense, just don't let it get to you. If you haven't seen it and you like David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) you'll love this.

Summary: A Teaser of a Thriller
Review: This particular movie was the first that I could remember that its climax would be the downfall of the movie. Director David Fincher delivers a suspense thrill ride of a movie which has enough twists to keep you guessing until the movie ends. Michael Douglas gives his usual believable outstanding performance as a cold control freak who's reality is turned upside down after an intriguing gift to play a "game" by his brother(Sean Penn). All the elements of a true psychological thriller are here but that is all that this movie ends in having: just elements. The story builds such high power tension and suspense that that to have the climatic resolve it offers as a finale is almost downright insulting. If this were a porn movie, the climax would disappoint all viewers. Suggestion: Michael Douglas has plenty of movie hits to see....I'd skip this one.
