Movie Reviews of The Game
Movie Review: Mesmerizing, intriguing and challenging movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
When a successful in the middle of his brilliant and winning profession loses his focus, his brother Sean Penn decides by himself to prepare an inoffensive game, the perfect gate for his tribulations and wishes of evasion, adventure and mystery.
You may certain rules of a game but that does not mean, you necessarily must have all the answers and maintain the emotional equilibrium.
A delirious and fascinating picture that - at least to my mind - deserved to David Fincher (Seven and The fight club)an emblematic status among the most creative and original filmmakers of his generation, considering all these three films have acquired cult status.
A superb cast, a solid script and kinetic cinematography make of this work one of my twenty Top American movies along the Nineties.

I knew this movie had to be great before I even watched it because it is made by an excellent director and it is played by at least two wonderful actors.Michael Douglas and Sean Penn are brothers (lol) and Douglas plays the role of an unhappy businessman, anyways the movie starts with Douglas's birthday and it's then when he receives a mysterious present from his brother - so what he gets is a enrollement in CRS (Consumer Recreation Services) - a company which creates real life games for each individual.But as the game starts Douglas has every reason to get concerned about his wealth and his life as well.A nail-bitting movie.
Please watch it or own it so you can play "The Game" to your guests. It's a great movie.
Movie Review: A Must See Movie...Then See It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend and I first watched The Game during one of Florida's back-to-back hurricanes. It had such an impact on us we now see it once or twice a year and spend hours discussing the film, its meaning and how it reflects what's happening in our lives at the time. We see new meaning and perceive deeper insights on each viewing. What's especially interesting is the playing out of early childhood trauma in adult life. The Game can be enjoyed on many levels, from a exciting thriller to a mind-expanding blow up the side of the head. Highly recommended for those looking for a excellent film and especially for anyone who appreciates mysticism and/or metaphysics imbedded within popular entertainment.Movie Review: Powerful Message....
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Game" is Michael Douglas at his finest in his portrayal as a Type A workaholic at the top of his game.His somewhat underachieving brother, portrayed by Sean Penn, gives Douglas a birthday gift in the form of a "game" where reality takes a dive and Douglas' life goes into a spin. Although there were a few areas that were a little hard to follow - the premise of this reality game is so imaginative and real. It is only when Douglas hits rock bottom that he realizes how isolated from the real world he has become and what is truly important in life.
I thought this movie was insightful and masterful. I watch it frequently and it always delivers a powerful message.
