The Game is a movie about San Francisco Banker Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) who receives a present from his brother (Sean Penn) to play a special type of game. It isn't long before Nicholas Van Orton finds himself questioning what is reality and what is part of this elaborate game.
Apart from the unique story, my favorite part of this movie has to be the amazing performance put on my Michael Douglas. Over the course of the movie, I found myself shocked and awestruck at his gradual slide into insanity. Also, with a run time of almost 2 hours, I didn't find myself checking the time at all.
One thing I was not a fan of was that there were too many "What If" parts of the movie. Without giving anything away, a few things that happen over the course of the movie may have been disastrous if something minute hadn't happened earlier.
Over all, I would suggest this movie to people who are a fan of psychological thrillers. If you want a movie to watch absent mindedly as you do chores of some sort, you would probably not enjoy this movie much at all. At the time of writing this (12-25-11) it is available to watch on Netflix Instant Watch.
I'll definitely check this out as well as the girl with the dragon tattoo. I didn't realize that this director directed seven, and fight club, two of my personal favorites
ReplyDeleteMichaele Douglas is one of my fave actors
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really excited to watch this and just haven't got around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, friend. This is the BIGGEST game we've ever played. Life. Lemme tella youse how I got through. Follow us and wiseabove...
ReplyDeleteWhat's your address in the hereafter? Dunno? Mine's 111 Rock-Solid-Ave, Milky Weight, Seventh-Heaven. My droolin' mansion? Ha. A grandiose, 3-acre-stuccoish home in a cul-de-sac with mountain-bike-trails we may conform with our thots. My intimacy with women Upstairs? Includes skiing, surfin, snorklin, scarlet scent to snuggle and serve: slow, soft, supersonic sex; love making is like an explosion, like fireworks: you light each other's fuse in Heaven (never on earth unless you're married). But, yet, a sassy, savvy, passionate antidote, too: plethora abundance of high-degree, ultra-psychotropic, kick-ass, party-hardy, white-water-rawwness every, single, evening with guhroovilishous avatars, tender faeries, cereal killers and symbiotic, front-row-seats. My many planets and gorgeous girls? Gotta gobba lotta IQ, too, withe K2 orchestra only accessable to adolescents: TOTALLY YOURS!!! How? Gotta! accept! Jesus, dude! So, let's accelerate to the Maximum #@!!☆ POW!er; let's populate the universe, girl, withe afterglow of loyalty to the Bright Son. Wanna join me in God's wild Kingdome? Time, as an entity, is also mortal: while thars no time in Seventh-Heaven, yet, puuuh-lenty of time to love. Yummm...
...cuzz the only other realm aint too cool: a sweltering, cramped cell; BeavisNbutthead sawing-off your cranium with a chainsaw; o'er-the-Hillary profusely cakkkling for the length and breadth of eternity. How prrrecious! sez Gollum. 'Nuff sed. Decide NOW.
