Summary: Very original and suprising.
Review: I had no idea what this movie was about when i first rented it. For one, there has never been a movie like this. Kind of hard to figure out throughout the movie. Its about Micheal Duglous and he plays this game where all sorts of people are messing with him, like shooting at him, talking to him on the TV, you gotta watch this one.

Summary: Surprise, surprise! A great thriller!
Review: Once in a while you come across a great thriller. To accomplish this you have to have a great story line, superb acting and cinematography, a generous budget and an excellent styling consultant so that everything's just perfect. And The Game has all these aspects. A wealthy financier (Michael Douglas) who has apparently everything and is bored with life gets a surprise birthday gift from his brother (Sean Penn): the participation in a very interesting and intense game. It is one of these movies that is unpredictable for the most part with action scenes that will take your breath away. The ending is unique and an unpredictable surprise and it gives the movie the final edge to classify it as one of these rare top-rated thrillers.

Summary: The ending was GREAT, what the *&%ยค#" are you talking about.
Review: I loved this movie, great suspence, great direction and cinemathography, lots of twists and turns, great performances all around but most of all it has this ability of keeping you glued to the screen as in all of Finchers movies. David Ficher is one of the best directors right now, he proved it once with Seven, with this film and Fight Club, the man is pure geneous. I have seen bad endings that almost ruined the movie for me but this is definitely NOT one of them. The movie would never have worked without it. The ending was GREAT, the best part of the movie.

Summary: Good idea -- Horrible film
Review: Oh paleease --- Stop with the BS this film throws at you. C'mon now. Who is this director anyway ?? This guy is known for Seven and Fight Club ?? Seven and Fight Club were much much better than this piece of overhyped trash! Spare yourself the viewing of this film.

Summary: Absolutely Awful !!
Review: Very far-fetched, even for a movie... Insults the average man's intelligence, need not say what it does to the intelligence of a thinking man... Michael Douglas is probably the only positive aspect of this otherwise silly film. Maybe if viewed by an audience of bright-eyed, gullable, 12-year olds, the movie would reach it's full potential with it's so-called surprises. I must honestly say this picture was one of the biggest dissapointments I have witnessed, considering I was looking forward to an excellent thriller, but what I got was a goofy, rediculous fantasy... For anyone contemplating a purchase, please consider renting first. Then, after you view "The Game", you will understand why any truly intelligent person would NOT make this a purchase... What an awfully overrated movie !! Shame on you silly little people behind this picture for thinking you could get away with trash like this. Adios !

Summary: Slick Look; Infuriating Plot
Review: Fincher fans will enjoy his trademark icy, modern sheen, which is apparent in every scene of this self-consciously complicated thriller, but if you've taken it seriously and followed along until the end, you'll feel cheated. In a word: preposterous. The plot only works if everyone involved had a crystal ball and could see what Douglas was going to do. If he did just one thing differently or stood in a slightly different spot, the movie couldn't happen. There are dozens of examples. He had to go to a certain apartment. He had to get a gun from a certain drawer of an empty house and not from anywhere else on this thousand-mile journey from Mexico. When he's running from bullets through San Francisco, for instance, his enemies know that not a single neighbor will look out a window, come to his aid, shoot back, or even call the police. For god's sake, in one laughable moment he had to jump from a specific spot even though nothing keeps him from being several feet to either side. If you've seen the flick already, just think about that one scene and how high the stakes were. How could anyone short of God Himself predict that Douglas would do what he did from the EXACT SPOT he did it?

Summary: Entertaining!
Review: I sometimes think professional reviewers are influenced too much by each other's reviews. I found this movie to be neither "not as clever as it tries to be" or "mean-spirited". I found it clever and ultimately uplifting. There are many messages here, and they are presented in a most entertaining way. Michael Douglas' character has built his miserable life brick by brick. He needs a way back into a happy, meaningful life and doesn't even know it. Tell me this isn't an inspiring personal metamorphosis through stressful self-examination a la Ebenezer Scrooge! What more do you want from a movie?

Summary: "It's only a game..."
Review: "The Game" was directed by David Fincher (The director of "Seven" and "Fight Club") and it is no ordinary movie, to say the least. It is about a corporation who plays a "game" with a rich man from San Francisco. The game seems fun to play at first, but then it starts messing with your life, and your mind. You can't escape, your trapped. Trust absolutely no one, not even your own family. Friends can be foes, foes can be friends. This movie plays with you, seriously. It wont let you go until the very unexpected ending, see it, it's quite a ride. I warn you that the ending may seem far fetched to some people, but I won't tell you it. So if you havent seen it, watch it for yourself.

Summary: This did not get enough publicity
Review: I think if this movie had been advertised then it would have been real popular. If you like plot twists and trying to figure how it's going to end then this is the movie for you. This movie is about a man who gets a birthday present from his brother and has no clue what it is. Neither does the audience, finding out is one of the best parts
