Director David Fincher followed the success of his dark and atmospheric crime thriller Seven (1995) with another exercise in stylish film noir, this time lifting the pallid atmosphere a notch to indulge in a fast-paced trip through the cinematic funhouse. Michael Douglas plays Nicholas Van Orton, a Scrooge-like San Francisco investment banker following in his father's Scrooge-like footsteps. On Nicholas's 48th birthday (the age at which his father committed suicide), his younger, free-spirited brother Conrad (Sean Penn) blows into town and gives Nicholas a special gift for "the man who has everything" -- a ticket to CRS (Consumer Recreation Services), a company that constructs games custom-fit for each participant to provide, as CRS salesman Jim Feingold (James Rebhorn) cryptically puts it, "whatever is lacking." Nicholas's secure life begins a downhill slide as CRS masterminds a series of elaborate pranks, harmless at first, that quickly become malicious and life-threatening. Stripped of financial resources and convinced that he can trust no one, Nicholas begins to wonder if CRS is a front for a more covert operation, and if the game is in fact an attempt to steal his fortune and leave him for dead. Determined to fight back alone, Nicholas infiltrates CRS in order to "pull back the curtain and meet the wizard." ~ Anthony Reed, Rovi

Review For The Game

This 1997 thriller is fairly entertaining nonsense if all you're looking for is 128 minutes of diversion. But if you'd like something more from David Fincher, the director of Seven, don't get your hopes up.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader

Regardless of how far one chooses to buy into The Game -- and the ending ambiguously suggests that it could go on and on -- there is no doubt as to Fincher's staggering expertise as a director and his almost clinical sense of precision.
Todd McCarthy-Variety

The film's 'message' about complacency transformed by chaos and uncertainty is hackneyed...
Geoff Andrew-Time Out

The picture provides Douglas with one of his best roles. If he doesn't quite reach the bizarre heights he achieved in Falling Down, The Game makes its own demands.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle

As it's unspooling on screen, the film is hugely entertaining, but there are several significant plot holes that grow wider the more closely they're investigated.
James Berardinelli-ReelViews

Fincher is still working on the assumption that he has better things to do than entertain an audience. Which would be fine if he weren't drawn to such schlocky material.
Charles Taylor-Salon.com

[N]ifty filmic style and crackpot sensibility.
Matthew Sorrento-Film International

Well-written, expertly paced, and undeniably riveting, The Game is perhaps most impressive in the way it strips down the Nicholas Van Orton character. The whole process is very layered and each layer breaks down Nicholas even more than the last.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com

This is one of those movies that's so tightly written and densely plotted, it leaves no room for error -- or viewer queries. Unfortunately, the questions will start flying even before the picture's over.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing

Sure, it strains credulity, but it's clever, well-paced and builds to a spectacular -- if not altogether satisfying -- conclusion.
Maitland McDonagh-TV Guide's Movie Guide

Good looking, tightly controlled thriller. An exhilarating ride that prepares the ground for Fight Club.
-Film4

"The Game" is a thrilling end run of deception in which a master manipulator is masterfully manipulated.
Phil Villarreal-Arizona Daily Star

A solid original screenplay -- one of the best out of Hollywood this year.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews

The Game is one of those films that requires the viewer to suspend his disbelief to a great extent, but offers pretty good entertainment in return for that effort.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

The Game is something more than a stylish thriller, though it dishes up style and thrills in abundance.
Margaret A. McGurk-Cincinnati Enquirer

You know how some films could be great or have indeed some great moments, but for some reason, are disappointing? This piece is exactly in that category.
Kevin N. Laforest-Montreal Film Journal

Once again, Fincher settles for artifice over art.
Kim Williamson-Boxoffice Magazine

The rocky blur between reality and fantasy aspires to be a Hitchcockian After Hours, but at two hours plus, The Game gets played out early on.
Tom Meek-Boston Phoenix

David Fincher has emerged as one of the most provocative filmmakers of the decade.
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.-Goatdog's Movies

David Fincher directs this claustrophobic thriller with visceral punch and stylistic vitality.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

Douglas disintegrates beautifully against the pressure of a constant and unknown threat, played out by a deliciously sinister support cast.
Almar Haflidason-BBC

The movie is saved from its numerous plot holes and logic lapses by Fincher's unrelenting directorial style and a strong central performance by Michael Douglas.
