David Fincher and polarity

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 1999)

The Game is unusual. Very few movies succeeds in encapsulating such a compelling plot that consciously subverts the intellect. After watching the entire movie and thinking back on the various situations, it would at first seem rather unlikely given the ending. I like to offer this: there is more than meets the eye. Perhaps a little "movie magic", if you will. I leave it at that.
It's hard to believe that David Fincher also directed Alien 3. I pull my hair out in frustration over that folly (read my review for "Alien^3" to understand). But i applaud The Game. it is a movie that so effectively conveys the mood, fear, and every twist.
