You'll see something shocking you've never seen before. Just when you got the plot, it turns upon you. I was surprised and shocked like Nicholas. Terrific directing by one of the best thriller director, David Fincher. I have no idea about the happy ending. Speechless with a bit of a smile, that's what happened to me after watching it. Fincher's 2nd best film. Underrated. I hate surprises but I definitely love this one of a kind game!
If only all our birthday's could have presents like this! Michael Douglas is awesome in this movie. Though a tad bit long and dry in some parts, overall it is a great thriller. It will keep you guessing til the end.
Wow, tout un casse-tête(je comprend mieu la pochette). Du début jusqu'à la fin, toujours des questions et interrogations te vienne ! J'adore... ce film de 1997 ! loll Fuck ! o_O
I saw this film once when I was younger, and loved it. When I watched it again recently I really enjoyed it, and had forgotten virtually everything that had happened but the last ten minutes were still clear in my head, so the surprise was ruined a second time (and it's not like Fight Club, where seeing it a second time gives you a whole new view).
Clever Movie, ticks the boxes of the type of movie I like most, a psychological, mental thriller. I like it when Michael Douglas loses the plot towards the end and starts pointing his 'gun' at people.
It's totally intense and gripping. I'm just sad to say I was really disappointed by the ending, so much so I docked it two points. It's not what I was hoping for and it just seemed really implausible and far-fetched. But it's still a really good movie.
Once again David Fincher has constructed an interesting and different sort of movie. Unfortunately repeat viewings cannot reproduce the punch of seeing this movie for the first time, but each viewing does reveal smaller bits of style that contributed to the movie's overall merit.
Does society and it's rules can really shape our behaviour up to the point of controlling our basic instincts? The Game poses this question in a very engaging way. The complaint about the situations being "unrealistic" vanishes if you really consider what the film is trying to aim for. Can someone's actions be so predictable because of the way he has lead his life, and the events that had happen in it? The movie takes the risk of going for a full "yes". Iit manages to put a lot more on the table than most standard hollywood thrillers.
Stop re-watching Hype Club and give this film another chance.
I saw this a long time ago. It was ok but you had to pay such close attention. I like movies where you're there for the enjoyment. This one had too many twists and I don't enjoy movies where I feel like a test will be given later.
eerie, opaque, mind-bender..a wild trip you wont forget..michael douglas plays the role to perfection...interesting concept thats probably more real than fiction...first rate thriller full of suspense and will keep you guessing right till the end!!
This is another movie that depends on your first time viewing. It starts out a little slow....but ends with a bang. The first time is special. (popping your cherry)
works well up to a point, but goes a bit stupid, and doesent really work, after knowing the outcome, finchers dark mood is present and correct, which is a plus
Just like being in a nightmare and u cannot wake up!!!An intense thriller-screenplay about the freakish "falling" of a prestigiouse main character!The unpredictable mysterious plot keeps getting better & better as the time goes by...This movie is an explosive mixture of agony and compulsion!I couldn't expect any less by the outstanding David Fincher's direction!
That's what I'm talking about when I'm saying Intelligwent thriller. And yes! David fincher scores again. I must say that I had imagined a story like that a thousand times (Conspiracy Twist), and I hadn't ever seen any movie wich used this idea. I now havee a duty in less. Michael Douglas was great, it's not true that this guy his not as a talented actor as he looks, like some say. In movie like this an Traffic, he prooves the opposite. David fincheer is one of my favorite directors and always will be, and it'a for things like that. Hell of a film!
