Movie Reviews of Game 6

Movie Review: Great performances......fun characters.....unique story....i loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really got into this little (and with a budget of a half maillion I mean little) movie..and was locked in for the very brief 80+ minute ride. The acting is excellent...and I really felt every character. It has nothing in common with the big budget CGI films dominating the DVD racks but more in common with something like "Doubt" ..a small group of characters who the viewer becomes emotionally attached to very quickly and enter their world. The story may be a bit more effective on people like myself who are sports fans and a bit lost on those who aren't but they can perhaps enjoy the theatre angle a bit more than I did. The movie features some very big name stars in small roles and it certainly doesn't LOOK cheap....very beautifully lit and photographed....just a little gem of a film I felt lucky to see and it made me think about it for the whole day after I saw it. Michael Keaton was just brilliant.

Summary of Game 6

A playwright skips the opening night of his play to see the Red Sox play game six of the world series and hopefully break their curse.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 23-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
Game 6, the first produced screenplay by acclaimed novelist Don DeLillo (White Noise), follows the obsession of a playwright, Nicky Rogan (Michael Keaton), whose beloved jinxed Red Sox are playing game six of the 1986 World Series--the same night Rogan's new play opens on Broadway. The stories that intersect to construct this ominous character study are woven by stellar performances by a first-rate cast, including Keaton, who gives a not-quite-unraveled reading that reminds us what a strong character actor he can be. Around Keaton is a fine ensemble, including a brittle Catherine O'Hara as his estranged wife ("Nicky, I'm seeing a prominent divorce attorney." "How prominent?" "He has his own submarine."); Bebe Neuwirth as his high-strung paramour; Griffin Dunne as an unglued fellow writer; and Robert Downey Jr. as a Buddhist theater critic whose ruinous reviews are as deadly as the loaded gun he takes to premieres. If the plot is a little far-fetched (and the climactic scene preposterous), the audacious writing and gripping performances more than make up for it. As Rogan says, "Winning is easy; losing is complicated." --A.T. Hurley
