Any movie that can keep you guessing until the end is worthy of note. Without seeming cliche or contrived, this movie delivers thrills, chills, and suspense. The acting was also great.... Full review

The Game does build you up to twisty ending, but ultimately the film doesn't satisfy and just leaves you dissapointed.... Full review

This is possibly the best film any director has ever made. The classics are the only films that come close to the precision of storytelling in the flawless script for The Game, and the equally precise execution of the filmmaking is... Full review

The story gets an A+, however it's not Oscar worthy, because the academy doesn't seem to recognize action/adventure movies too much. If they did, WOW! Again Micheal Douglas plays a very sucessful business man like he did as Gordon Gecko in... Full review
Illogical, tense thriller
Aug 30, 2007

It works really, really well if you don't try to apply too much logic or thought to what happens. The series of coincidences are just too much to put down to fate. It doesn't get too bad, though, until the very... Full review
Best movie of all times

This was by far the best movie of all times. I liked this movie more than Michael Douglas's other movies such as Wall Street or The Perfect Murder, I guess just because the script was so good, not because he acted... Full review
Exciting, thrilling, surprising, and action packed

"The Game," directed by David Fincher, is a great movie. Many parts in the movie are boring, but are important. The ending will surely make your jaw drop. If you like the kind of movies that are "mysteries wrapped in riddles"... Full review

Entertaining and bold, The Game scores high in the tall tales for grown ups stakes. The Game may not be as startling a film as its predecessor, but is as exhilarating on a different level. ... Full Review

Only a great fool would publicly confess that a frivolous mainstream Hollywood genre flick like, say, The Game -- last fall's Michael Douglas thriller -- was his favorite movie of 1997. otherwise known as their selection of the year's best movie. ... Full Review

The Game is an intensely exciting puzzle-gimmick thriller, the kind of movie that lets you know from the start that it's slyly aware of its own absurdity (which is why it can then get away with it). The movie has the wit to be playful about its own manipulations, even as it exploits them for maximum pulp impact. ... Full Review
