Ratings and reviews

"The game" is a very good film. I have been looking for a movie with a good story line. This one fits the bill with the earmarks of a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A bonus: no swearing, sex scenes or taking the Lord's name in vain ( maybe once, I am not sure).

Amazing thriller filled with twists and paranoia. Will keep you on the edge of your seat...especially the ending. Michael Douglas is great as a besieged super wealthy business man whose fortune is stolen. While trying to learn what is happening to and why, he learns that money is not everything.

Perfect combination of that stressful piano scoring and epic David Fincher mind assault. I felt physically stressed out watching this alone, and that's exactly what I want in this genre of movie. A little corny at times but...it was the 90's, so....
