Movie Reviews of The Game
Movie Review: The Movie Is Great..However...
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, "The Game" is an awesome and exciting thriller of a movie. I highly recommend checking it out.
However..I purchased this movie for a hearing impaired relative of mine based on the fact that Amazon's Product Details description CLEARLY states..
Subtitles: English, Spanish.
There are in fact NO English subtitles, but only Spanish. And my relative now has a movie that is totally useless to her!
I think Amazon needs to print their product details based on correct facts so that other buyers won't make the same misinformed mistake.
Summary of The Game
A self-centered businessman is enrolled in a \""game\"" as a birthday present from his brother, and soon finds everything he controlled slipping from his grasp.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 14-FEB-2006
Media Type: DVD
It's not quite as clever as it tries to be, but The Game does a tremendous job of presenting the story of a rigid control freak trapped in circumstances that are increasingly beyond his control. Michael Douglas plays a rich, divorced, and dreadful investment banker whose 48th birthday reminds him of his father's suicide at the same age. He's locked in the cage of his own misery until his rebellious younger brother (Sean Penn) presents him with a birthday invitation to play "The Game" (described as "an experiential Book of the Month Club")--a mysterious offering from a company called Consumer Recreation Services. Before he knows the game has even begun, Douglas is caught up in a series of unexplained events designed to strip him of his tenuous security and cast him into a maelstrom of chaos. How do you play a game that hasn't any rules? That's what Douglas has to figure out, and he can't always rely on his intelligence to form logic out of what's happening to him. Seemingly cast as the fall guy in a conspiracy thriller, he encounters a waitress (Deborah Unger) who may or may not be trustworthy, and nothing can be taken at face value in a world turned upside down. Douglas is great at conveying the sheer panic of his character's dilemma, and despite some lapses in credibility and an anticlimactic ending, The Game remains a thinking person's thriller that grabs and holds your attention. --Jeff Shannon
