not up to david fincher's usual standards

Rating: 3/10 (28 March 2002)

I can honestly say this is not a very good movie. I had just seen Seven and Fight Club and loved both of them and am excited to see Panic Room also so I decided to give The Game a try. I really wish I didn't. This is a movie that is not very interesting and runs at a slow pace. Michael Douglas DOES do a good job acting it's just the character wasn't very interesting. Another thing I am a big fan of in David Fincher films are the legendary plot twists. I mean the ones is Seven and Fight Club are genius. But this one is somewhat predictable and keeps changing as if it can't make up it's mind. Basically it's just not smart and edgy like Fincher's other films. But hey everybody has a bad film. All I know is that David Fincher is one of the best directors of today and I can't wait to see Panic Room.
