USA Today - ...Michael Douglas again proves himself one of the most watchable actors on the big screen in THE GAME..., New York Times - ...[Mr. Fincher] has made THE GAME with impressive craftsmanship and a very high gloss....This film sustains visual allure on several levels...

Additional Information
For the follow-up to his dark crime thriller SEVEN, director David Fincher decided to remain in a film noir vein. The result is THE GAME, a fast-paced cinematic roller-coaster ride that stars Michael Douglas as Nicholas Van Orton, a joyless San Francisco investment banker who receives an unusual birthday present from his estranged younger brother, Conrad (Sean Penn). The gift enrolls Nicholas in CRS (Consumer Recreation Services), a company that designs elaborate real-life games for each specific participant. As the game begins, the reluctant Nicholas becomes the victim of a series of pranks that quickly turn malicious and dangerous. Stripped of his finances and convinced that he can trust no one, Nicholas realizes that this game may be an attempt to steal his fortune and leave him for dead. In a desperate bid to regain his life, Nicholas infiltrates CRS in order to uncover the secrets of the mysterious organization.
Douglas is perfect playing the uptight businessman Nicholas, cleverly riffing on his Oscar-winning performance as the cold-blooded Gordon Gekko in WALL STREET. Fincher's Kafkaesque carnival show is an exercise in taut filmmaking that mischievously pulls a seemingly endless supply of rugs out from under both Nicholas and, even more impressive, the viewer.

A workaholic millionaire businessman (Douglas), is given a birthday present of a ticket for 'The Game' by his Brother (Sean Penn). He tells him it will 'change his life'. So Douglas signs up for this 'game' but is informed he has been rejected - but the game has only just begun. My thoughts- This is an outstanding psychological mystery/thriller with Micheal Douglas giving an outstanding performance as the control freak workaholic who has everything to a man no longer in control, with various strange events going on as he asks several questions including 'What is the game?' and 'who is in control'. He gives a fantastic performance as he slowly loses control because he loses his fortune and is implicated in a murder, while coming to see whils't before he had everything, this is the first time he has really lives. I don't think there has been anything else like it and with its tension and strange events will keep you guessing right up to the end. The script and Douglas' performances are exceptional, and they are backed up by a good supporting cast and good direction, and they make one of the best and most original films of modern times.Read full review
