Best film of 1997

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 1999)

Mind twisting, paranoia inducing suspense about a control freak whose life is turned upside down. Michael Douglas stars in his best performance since Falling Down and Sean Penn does a fine job in the role of his younger conniving brother. Debroah Unger is sexy as the token female lead/love intrest. When I originally saw this in the theater I walked out of it so paranoid that I was looking over both shoulders for a week. This movie has strong writting and directing. Even a decent soundtrack (A rarity for a suspense/thriller). Attention to detail and a twisted sense of humor are what keep this movie a head above the rest. But keep in mind that the man that rented this to you could be involved. But it's all just a game or is it?
