In honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nary a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins.

The Game Audience Reviews

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
helenafrazier There are surprises at every turn. It keeps you guessing to the very end. The end is satisfying, which is a welcome change from many movies like this that build you up only to let you down. Wonderful acting. I'd definitely recommended as a date night movie.
ridata-37706 Good but I might see another movie instead of watching this over again. Encountered a few loopholes in the story but only minor ones. Eversince Sean Penn showed up I know something's about to unfold orchestrated by him. Halfway through the film you'll figure out the plot, then it drives you away from your assumption but it trolls you hard at the very end like saying "Sucker! you were right from the beginning". Of all the movies by Mr Fincher this has to be the most predictable twist.And yes that Neo-Noir score was kind of overused. It adds up really well with the tension and mystery element but it went stale and saturated overtime.Just a few of my gripes. Overall, still a watchable movie esp if you want to see David Fincher's early takes with the Mystery/Thriller genre.
contentdisabled Love this movie, and I don't like a lot of movies. Great acting & story - it makes you look at life differently after watching.
phanthinga This is the first time ever I've been blown alway by the talent behind the movie The Game that is director David Fincher for directing such an awesome crime thriller that i can't even predict anything so the final twist hit me hard and let me speechless for a moment.Everyone performance is fantastic and above all is Michael Douglas and Deborah Kara Unger.It sad that when you finish The Game the replay value of the movie is very small cause you already know all twist and turn so I can't really find myself watching The Game again with anyone
