So what do you get the man that has everything? How about this movie. The intelligent intrigue of The Game delivers a psychological thriller unlike any movie I have ever seen. Michael Douglas gives an oscar worthy performance battling the drama of a conspiracy created by on-screen brother, Sean Penn. Like Michael Douglas's character, the boundary between the game and real life became obscurred in ... read more

Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas): um empresário de sucesso que mora numa enorme mansão, nos arredores da grande cidade de S. Francisco. Nicholas é um homem fechado, frio, ríspido e bastante solitário…não mantém relações de amizade ou de proximidade com ninguém. No dia do seu aniversário, o irmão Conrad (Sean Penn) oferece-lhe um presente no mínimo diferente: um cartão de uma em... read more

An underrated masterpiece

I’m such a huge fan of this movie and, in my opinion, it is easily the most underrated movie made by David Fincher. Indeed, he had directed this movie after ‘Seven’ and it wasn't so well received, at least, when you compare to how heralded was ‘Seven’ when it was released. It seems to be a trend in Fincher’s career that some really amazing gems such as ‘Zodiac’ or this movie are ba... read more

A Complete review of David Fincher's work (9 movies items)

" Cast : Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger What was it about? Wealthy financier Nicholas Van Orton gets a strange birthday present from wayward brother Conrad: a live-action game that consumes his life. My two cents: I'm such a huge fan of this movie and, in my opinion, it is easily the most underrated movie made by David Fincher. It seems to be a trend in Fincher's career that some really amazing gems such as 'Zodiac' or this movie were barely noticed whereas some other lesser"

"Katsottu: 13.1.2013 Edustanee heikompaa 90-luvun Fincheriä. Douglas on elämäänsä kyllästynyt rikas jätkä, joka hakee jännitystä ”pelistä”. Kukaan ei oikein suostu kertomaan, mistä tässä pelissä kyse. Sen tarkoitus on kuitenkin olla, jonkinlainen tosielämän roolipeli, jossa mitä tahansa voi tapahtua, milloin tahansa. Elokuvan idea kuulostaa itse asiassa mielenkiintoisemmalta, kuin mitä elokuva itsessään on. Monista erinäisistä käänteistä koostuva kokonaisuus, nojaa "
