Deadly Games Audience Reviews

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Thanasis Kourkoulos The plot: Guss makes a video game with him as a hero, his ex-wife as a partner and all the people that bring trouble to his life as villains, including his father Jordan (played by Christopher Lloyd) as the boss but re-named as Jackal in the game.When an experiment goes wrong, the villains become real and Gus with Lauren has to face them in order to finish the game. The series was entertaining enough for someone who loves Sci-Fi with good special effects and interesting plot. The act was good with James Calvert and Cynthia Gibb catching the roles very well and they also have some pretty good quotes that made the all concept enjoyable, at least I enjoyed very much :)! The series didn't last for another season probably because of the small interesting at the moment for sci-fi series. Remember at the moment where aired 3 sci-fi series: 1)Star Trek Deep Space Nine 2) Star Trek Voyager 3) Babylon 5 and with Star Trek TNG ending in 1994, there was no room for Deadly Games. Although some say that the series was bad, compared to those mentioned above, but if it was aired in another period it will had last longer than one season."Deadly Games" aired in 2003 from Makedonia TV in northern Greece, which showed all 12 episodes
eannamcgrath i remember watching this show years ago, it used to be on before "sliders" so i always associated the two of them together. sliders was an awful lot more famous but i thought this was every bit as good, if not better. no-one ever knows what i am talking about when i ask people. couldn't remember the name, just that christopher lloyd was in it. delighted i found it, deserves to be a classic! i remember one particular scene where christopher lloyd offered the main character a chance to win the game once and for all if he drew the higher card from the deck. the main character looked at his card and it was a king, but then he didn't go through with it, backing out at the last moment, reckoning that christopher lloyd could have stacked the deck with aces. it was a four!
AlanSmithee0 This series wasn't around too long but had some pretty cool moments while it lasted.Gus, a loser who is having problems with his wife, creates a video game with himself as a hero called The Cold Steel Kid. He battles Jackal(played by Christopher), an arrogant and almost game show host-like villain, who always seems to defeat him. But once Gus finally masters Jackal, the unreal happens...Jackal becomes real! Jackal escapes the game and beings to terrorize Gus with other characters from the video game, all of whom Guz based on people who terrorized/traumatized him in real life, including a quarterback called "Killshot", his ex-boss(Lavar Burton with steel hands and cool contact lenses), a cover girl(Kathy Ireland in her bra & panties) and even his old camp conselor. Silly and definitely entertaining!
CandySam Christopher Lloyd starred in this extremely short-lived TV series. I enjoyed it very much, my favorite memory being of going to Jack-in-the-Box and getting a Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich every Tuesday night just before it started. The show is pretty dumb, with okay special effects and a stupid plot, but it's still a lot of fun. Enjoyable entertainment.
