The Prophet's Game Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Lawbolisted Powerful
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU A fairly good suspense film, even a thriller, with a serial killer who comes back after having died on the scene of his last or latest crime. And he gets into a new series. We know from the very start who the killer or killers is or are. But we will only understand that very beginning at the end. It is a game among anonymous people with enigmas and riddles that prophesies the next victim. If you want the next victim to be saved you have to give the solution to the latest riddle you received. Of course the game is rigged. The killer gets some guarantee by menacing the players with some reprisal on some close relatives or friends. Of course the object of the game is to bring the cop who put an end to the first series of serial killings into the game to get some kind of vengeance. It's well done and it shoots in all directions with a few elements that will not get explained here and there. The riddles are obscure and the explanations are too quick for us to wonder what it really means and how they manage to get the solutions. We can also wonder how this killer can single-handedly kidnap or abduct an adult. But I guess everything has to remain slightly mysterious. The happy ending is of course very optimistic. The killer could have done a lot more damage if the end had not been too vain and had only considered vengeance. That killer being insane, definitely schizophrenic, does not explain why in the last moments of the adventure criminal reason departs and vanity takes over. But that's good entertainment.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris Dauphine & University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne
captaintorvin My very favorite thing about this movie was how a bunch of the central characters were apparently supposed to be college students, but they were all in their thirties. They kept on trying to act young. The fat guy was stereotypically obnoxious, and the female lead's sex drive was clearly well-in-place for the age, and they were all playing some trendy new game on the internet, yet their physical appearances made them woefully ill-suited for the parts they played.I especially liked the one main dude with his backwards cap who was always riding his bike around and such.So believably youthful!
Dead_Mann it actually turned out to be a little better than i thought this cheap budget would be, but still very bad...............................Dennis hopper was pretty good, and the rest of the cast was OK, it was shot pretty well, and has a storyline, that makes you want to see it, but don't please..........its about a serial killer known as the prophet and has killed again,and sends a postcard to Vincent swan(detective, but detective swan(hopper) had killed him a few years ago, but he come to a conclusion that hes a copycat or he actually didn't kill him, so in the rest of the story the prophet leaves clues with his mutilated victims and detective swan tries to solve the mystery
MacrosTB Dennis Hopper plays Vincent Swann, a retired detective with a personal vendetta, to perfection in this movie. As the retired detective whose daughter was killed by a mass murderer, when the tell-tale killings start again, he starts to wonder if he got the right man. Famous people are randomly murdered and body parts taken. The players of the Prophet's Game decide who lives or dies.Although the movie is a little slow, there is enough intrigue to keep you hanging on to the last minute. The movie is directed very well, with a good supporting cast. (Michael Dorn's distinctive voice is used to good effect as the Police Commissioner.)As the players start disappearing, and Vincent is taunted, the winner of the Prophet's Game is always the Prophet...
