F*ck you David Fincher! You just pranked me
ZeganFeb 26, 2021does Michael Douglas eat concrete for breakfast every morning or is his voice naturally just like that
liam fThe concept is brilliant, but the film is so unemotional, it fails to really suck me in in the way I'm supposed to be sucked. Nicholas is not a sympathetic character. At all. I did not care what happened to him, if he was in real danger or not, if he really lost his…

- Jacob Hall lovedThe Game
this is contending for my favorite david fincher film. a lot of people dislike the ending to this movie, but i absolutely love it. this is a must watch thriller. it almost takes you on a trip through the mind of a depressed person which is cool
Ariel Aguilar likedThe GameThis movie is insane. Just watch the whole thing. You’ll be mind blown
Amrosa lovedThe GameOne of the few movies I could never guess
- alyssa lovedThe Game
this movie is so insane but in the best possible way i love when movies make me question my existence
EDB likedThe GameI was drugged and left for dead in Mexico - and all I got was this stupid t shirt
Vludy22 is "meh" onThe GameThe movie is ok but I feel like they tried to make the ending impossible to see coming which made for a very dumb and far fetched finale. The psychological effect of what he went through would have a tremendous amount of repercussion and realistically he would prob kill himself.
- Idea likedThe Game
very mysterious with fitting music, but he was ready to kill himself, and he even jumped, and when they revealed it was all part of the game, he was fine with it and thanked them? I don't get that.
Dylan C lovedThe GameThis movie is incredible. It’s slow to start, but the last 30 minutes make you feel like you’re living through a constant battle. 9/10 most definitely would watch again to catch hidden details
Formal likedThe Game– I’ll be honest, I would’ve crashed TF out – They really made it seem like a happy ending… like bro, WTF – I would’ve popped everyone in that room – Eyes Wide Shut meets The Truman Show 👁️

Metacritic
In The Game, Fincher pulls back from the total gross-out but sustains a tone of aggravated anxiety. Hitchcock could have done this material and still made its perversities pleasurable.
Peter Rainer
Dallas Observer
An intensely exciting puzzle-gimmick thriller, the kind of movie that lets you know from the start that it's slyly aware of its own absurdity.
Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly
This is not a movie that can bear much postgame scrutiny. The minute you begin to question one element of the plot, gaping holes of logic appear throughout.
