The Lame

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2011)

A fabulously rich investment manager signs up for a mysterious activity known as "The Game," which completely disrupts his life. It gets off to an intriguing start, as the anticipation builds for the game. Then the game begins and weird things start happening to Douglas that make no sense outside of sci-fi/fantasy realm. Yet, one watches with some interest expecting everything to be sorted out at some point, a point that never really comes. When the inevitable twist is revealed, one is left bewildered because it invalidates pretty much everything that has happened in the movie. This unbelievably stupid movie doesn't just call for suspension of disbelief, but also suspension of intelligence.
