excellent all-around

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2000)

"The Game" is one of the better thrillers I've seen in a long time. It really hits on all cylinders: very original idea, well-written script, excellent effects, strong acting. Douglas gives one of his best ever performances as the icy Nicholas Van Horton, a rich investment banker who is given a birthday present that changes his life.
Overall, a very solid movie with a superb ending that is sure to shock most viewers.
