Review of The Game

The Game (1997)
4/10
Definately a thrill, but FULL of holes!
16 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler: When they stand on the roof in the end, and she "discover" that he had a "real gun", he could have shot anybody, not just his brother by accident! And when he jumpes off the roof: What if he decided to jump off anywhere else then the exact place required to hit the X? Some birthdaypresent that would have been! And; COME ON! Like they would have destroyed the old glass roof on that restaurant for this game!

And there were hundreds of other occations where he could have run another way and missed the next step in the game, or not followed through on "leads" and so on. It simply becomes so unbelievable to be a thrill anymore. And all of these things I mention are easily correctable in the script. But Michael Douglas is always great in thrillers / adventures, so that in itself makes this move watchable.
