Some Game

Rating: 4/10 (4 December 2013)

David Fincher directed this twisty thriller that stars Michael Douglas as Nicholas Van Orton, a successful banker who gets a most unusual present on his birthday from his wayward brother Conrad(played by Sean Penn), a gift card to join CRS(consumer recreation services) an entertainment company. Curious, Nicholas visits them, and is asked many strange questions and given a physical exam. He doesn't take it seriously, though will later change his mind as it seems CRS is a sinister organization that puts his life in grave danger, as Nicholas is plunged into an ever-escalating series of events that threaten his life, and Conrad's... Frustrating film has some exciting scenes but ends up being, well, I won't give it away, but ask yourself how you would react if you were the target of this "game", and what your response would be!
