Info

In honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nary a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins.

The Game Audience Reviews

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Andrea Tsereteli (House of Targaryen) Plot:movie was about the game,which is founded by company and they use this game for fun people.in this game everything was developing strangely.that makes it interesting this movie.also in this game,we saw human's psychology. Goal of the movie is what will happen end of the game. This movie's plus is how directon telling story.you are tense in the whole movie.which is david fincher merit. It's convincingly story but there are some mistakes in the movie.some moments isn't believable. In my opinion this movies's weakness is less dialoges and movies's pace
jonwhan699 If you are at all an intelligent human. If you have reason and logic. You will not like this film. It starts off okay, but when the game is meant to make him happy or whatever. Great we get it. He's gotta enjoy life so he doenst kill himself like his Daddy. So we know it's all fake. But wait! It wasn't fake. It was a scam to steal his money! But wait! There's still 30 minutes left and I'm certain it's not going to be 30 minutes of Taken part 4: the late 90s Michael Douglas edition. So the game is still on and everything's fine. I was complaining about the movie the whole time, waiting for it not to follow a really predictable series of events.But it did. And I was right to complain.
antonynous The acting in this film is good, Michael Douglas was really good. I liked the sound effects too. The plot is not entirely bad until Nicholas attempts suicide, but what happens after ruins all: the worst end of all time that makes this movie a mess with the worst plot ever. It turns out that Nicholas is brought to suffer, lose all money, risk his life, kill his brother and commit suicide, but in reality it was all a staging just because his brother Conrad considered him an asshole. WTF! In the end Nicholas also thanks Conrad and the other people that took part and also asks the woman who almost killed him to go out with him... This movies doesn't make any sense, it leads you to feel that it has one meaning for the whole plot, (the scene about the father that commit suicide, the gold wristwatch) but it has no meaning, the end scene ruins everything!
coda_william Even though i realized early on, this would be one of those movies, that would break down and descend into absurdity, i have to admit , that I found it suspenseful and entertaining.
