Just not enough

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 1999)

The Game is by no means a bad movie, but it isn't particularly good, either. Oh, I admit that it has some nice acting and intriguing plot twists, but the whole film has a very confusing feel (yes, I know that's on purpose, but that doesn't make it good). The main reason I saw it was because I'd heard the "huge shocker" ending would leave me breathless and make me want to watch it all over again. While I won't spoil the end, I do need to say that it fell FAR short of my expectations. It felt rather tagged-on, a disappointing end to a mediocre film.
