SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

quincytheodore While Joker Game has good atmosphere and to its credit, an engaging first act, it eventually culminates into basic espionage thriller with little twist or surprise. It's not entirely a complex showing of strategy as most of the time it focuses on flamboyant one dimensional characters. Still, its simple sleight of hand might adequately entertaining as mild diversion.After an incident with his military supervisor, a man is sentenced to death and eventually recruited to a spy agency. He's given alias Jiro Kato after intensive training and sent to recover a crucial piece of information. It starts with a good opening act before, unfortunately, turns into a predictably straightforward plot.The entirety of the cast is shaped to be a glorified version of espionage with excessively classy demeanor. It's appealing at first, but ultimately the feeling wears out as it hampers with the thriller aspect, even making it look rather comical later on. Characterization, along with acting, serves to create larger than life personas, and the characters seem trapped in this constant superficial front.It plays around with typical heist set-up as well as slight bantering with femme fatale. This is not a deep display of intelligence or overlaying trickery. There are only few nifty gimmicks at best, and at later act it changes into basic cat-and-mouse game in outlandish setting. Few of these instances even resemble classic Bond flicks, although it can get too cheesy, especially the action sequences which look like watered down Pirate of Caribbean debacle.It may win a few style points with the visual and premise, but as far as thriller goes, Joker Game is just elementary.

crabbingroolz As an action film this ticked all my boxes. Great cinematography, exciting and flowing chases, explosive action, and decent plot which keeps you interested. If you're coming in expecting amazing character development with a complex plot then this is not the film for you.Rather than recent James Bonds think more Mission Impossible in a alternate reality WWII.Acting by all major cast members is well done and there are basically no cases of embarrassing accents when they speak other languages. I would recommend this film to people who want a fun action film to watch.I hope it gets a sequel!
