THE GAME

A Filmfreak 6,5/10

Directed by David Fincher
Screenplay by John D. Brancato, Michael Ferris (III)
Cast includes Michael Douglas, Sean Penn and Debrah Unger

Basic plot outline:  Douglas plays a rich executive who recieves an unusual birthday present from his brother... a real life interactive game...but is it all really a game afterall?

Review: This is basically a suspense thriller with many twists and turns -- so many that in fact you find yourself expecting everything to twist and turn thus leading to utter predictability.

Bad points : No thrill in this thriller.
Good points : rather intruiging...
Utter And Inexcuseable Downfall : the ending

Found myself rather disappointed in Penn after 'dead man walking'. Felt this one had a lot of potential, yet fell into the wrong hands... yip, Michael Fishface Douglas strikes yet again...
