Summary: A Must See for David Fincher Fans
Review: I have watched this movie over fifty time. Yes I am a huge fan of movie and more of a fan of great movies. Upon viewing the film Seven which is a Classic I new that The Game would deliver. This film takes you on a ride from the top to the bottom. It's on my top ten list. My concern is the quality of the DVD. This is one to watch. On buying this movie I would wait. One of the companies resposible for creating special edition dvd's, hopefully Criterion Collection, will do justice on The Game. There are several reviews reading negatively about this work of art. Watch the movie anyway. Three or four people out of one hundred and fifty reviews is a small minority. Lasty for those who have seen the movie I love how determined and sheltered Micheal Douglas character is. Some people questioned how real the movie is and how the character believes everything that happens. It works great but take in to account it is a movie only for entertianment.

Summary: One of the best suspense movies ever!
Review: Few movies are as confusing and compelling at the same time. I was baffled from the start, but drawn continually to know what was going on.And I watch few movies more than once, but have seen this one thrice. ... and I'd probably see something new if I watched it once more. Bravo!

Summary: Thought provoking, "twilight zonish" thriller
Review: I can't believe there are no reviews for this movie. Douglas plays wealthy, emotionally distant Nicholas Van Orton. His brother, played expertly by Sean Penn, gives him an unusual birthday present, a game. Douglas (and the movie viewer) is unsure who is involved in this game, when it begins, the object, etc. This movie keeps you guessing right to the climatic ending. Very interesting movie that sticks with you.

Summary: Insanely stupid ending=insanely overrated movie.
Review: This film was living up to its hype for most of it, until the ending, at which point it all fell apart in what must be one of the most senseless, absolutely moronic and ridiculous endings I've ever seen. To go into detail would be to spoil it, so I'll just say that thanks to the ending, what could have been a good film is completely undone, and the viewer (the intelligent one, anyway) is left insulted. David Fincher knows how to put together a good-looking film, with all the requisite entertainment elements, but what he just doesn't get are the concepts of plot coherence, reasonable limits of suspension of disbelief, and anything approaching feasibility. This movie ends up being just a meaningless two-hour joyride, with a last few minutes that negates those two hours with a level of stupidity that few films in history have ever matched. I was wondering how such an apparently hyped movie, with such a stellar cast, could have had such a low profile. Now I know.

Summary: Absolutely TOPS in suspense
Review: If there's a more suspenseful, mind-bending, plot-altering movie made, I haven't seen it - and I've been on the hunt for decades. This movie delivers, with a plot that you simply won't understand until the final moments. Nevermind the dialogue (though don't miss a minute of it). The action, drama, and emotional confusion add up in any language to edge-of-your-seat entertainment. Douglas really delivers!

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I thought this movie was great! Its one of those movies you just can't stop watching until the very last minute. It has parts that the audience wouldn't expect at all! But the one part that I just loved was the ending. A wonderful to watch I recommend this movie to people who like action-thrillers and like movies that make you think.

Summary: Consumer Review Service (CRS)
Review: This "sleeper" is my favorite movie. (My second favorite is "Fast Times @ Ridgemont High", so diversity is key here.) I finally own the DVD so I can watch it at least twice a year, which is just about right to get caught up in it again. They really should re-release it at the theaters so people would know that it exists. So many missed it the first time around, myself included. I just wish someone would bring us a movie that is even "close" to these two so I could rotate my collection more often. Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, everyone is great in this flick.

Summary: A Great Thriller!
Review: It's Fincher. What else can I say? This guy knows how to direct a great film. You have great performances, a great story with a great twist, and once again fantastic directing from David Fincher. The DVD isn't much...very good quality picture and sound, but not extras. You do get the trailers, which are very good...The teaser is one of THE best teasers, in my opinion. The film deserves a Special Edition DVD!

Summary: A masterpiece!
Review: The Game is one of my favourite thriller movies. Millionaire Nicholas van Orton (Michael Douglas) purchases a "game" for his birthday reccomended by his brother, Conrad (Sean Penn). He is not sure exactly what the game is but after a while strange things start happening to him and he doesn't like it at all. This is a tremendous thriller that is so unpredictable and will keep you guessing through-out the movie. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. A must-buy for anyone. I do not think this should be an "R" rated movie because the language is not that strong, it is not that scary and it has no real gory moments or major violence. All I can say about this movie is that it is an excellent masterpiece and a must-see.
