A movie to watch, not analyse

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2005)

Hold your hats and get taken for the ride of your life.
What do you give a man who has everything that money can buy. Well if he's your brother and money is no object, you give him the one thing he can't purchase. Another chance at life.

Contrary to other reviewers, I could understand perfectly why Nicholas reacted as he did at the end. Probably like me, he was busy holding back the tears when he realised that his brother was alive. The outcome of the game, in the end, is based on the strength of a brothers love. It's clear that Nicholas would do anything for Conrad, and that's why he plays the stupid game in the beginning. For once I was glad for a happy ending, and if it didn't make sense, so what, who cares. I was just glad for the entertaining diversion and a thrilling ride.
