you're so lucky if you haven't played THE GAME yet...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2001)

For those who haven't seen the movie yet...I envy you greatly. You don't know what awaits...
A very successfully built tension and mystery, accompanied by dazzling scenes and continuous surprises...Just when you think you've figured it all out, you realize you're on the wrong track. You reach lessons, you think ''don't trust anyone, not even your brother. Always consider your enemies. Beware of complete strangers''. You think ''be more careful before taking a road which you barely can see, which you barely know about''. But is it really what the film says? You wonder...so, just play the game and let it flow. Don't listen to what others say. Follow what your mind says. But will you be so lucky to escape? With no wounds? With no regrets?

Are you haunted by your past? Does history repeat itself? Or is it all a set-up? Innocent, or guilty?
I don't want to go further...Just sit back and enjoy. Don't be too quick to decide...With the gloomy atmosphere increasing the number of question marks in your head, great scenario, immensely successful direction by Fincher as always, and Sean Penn strengthening his place among my all-time favorites, a 10/10 for me.
