This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....
This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.
Imagine being involved in a game that totally interrupts and change your way of living.... in the blink of an eye. What does it take to get hold of your life and consider that things could be different... be more in harmony, be more warm and give reflection? What if we could look inside a billionaires life and mindset; is money always satisfaction? Is money the way out? Money could very much be the investment of your own created prison.
Michael Douglas tries to figure those questions out in this Hitchcock- like thriller. A movie that tend to play the strings of mysterious ways and suspicion. Things lead to other things as the story rolls out accompanied by melodrama and fiction with a tinkeling piano as a solemn description of weird situations.
A lot of finesse in the complete package. The title of the movie says it all..... Game on!
Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Music, script, pace and good camera work lets this movie describe the story perfectly. - The actors : Give depth and meaning for the director and the screenplay. Acting is throughout good and credible, with some "glitches" here and there. - The story : A game within the game... within the movie. Teasing the viewer to understand or solve the tale. - Entertainment : An edging emotion takes the toll of me as I watch this intense (yet slow rolling) and strange thriller. Entertainment of good quality. - Age : Almost everybody likes a game. In this case... a scary one. Age of 11.
7,0 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie.)
(Short elucidation of the rating:
7 Well made movie. Proper entertainment. 6 Nice production. Good movie.)
