An unexpectedly real game

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2017)

Nicholas is a very wealthy banker, living his boring and unsurprising life without caring about anyone but himself. As a result, his brother Conrad invites him to join a very mysterious game which promises to change his life. Full of doubt but also intrigued by it, he fills in the forms and all begins with a call from the company which owned it. Soon after that, strange events start to occur making him doubt his sanity and subsequently his own circle of friends.
It is a very interesting plot centered on this "game", following closely every peril Nicholas has to face in order to come back to reality, if there even is one anymore. The mystery gets deeper after each event, fact which is a delight and it was almost impossible for me predict what was going to happen, so another plus here. Michael Douglas plays a great role throughout the movie expressing a great variety of emotions without breaking a sweat. Although the finale is a bit flat (but highly unexpected) and it had its inevitable boring moments, I strongly recommend this one as I enjoyed it a lot overall.
