Please, Mr Fincher!

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 1998)

The Game includes one of Michael Douglas's finest performances. It is one of the more atmospheric and stylish films I have seen. It would have even topped Se7en as one of my favourite films, except for one thing.
The ending! When Van Orton jumps off the edge of the building, we hear Christine scream his name and then see visions of his father. Right there! That's where should've been taken to another ending where Van Orton dies, just like his father.
I believe that was the original intention, it might have even been filmed. But the ending that is in the movie seems too much like a tacked-on Hollywood ending. They show the downbeat ending to a test audience, they don't like it because it's not Armaggedon or something. So the studio have to reshoot & rewrite the ending (That's where I think the "Gonna shear some more sheep" line comes from, it sounds like it was written in a hurry).
Why? Why? Why? You had a brilliant movie WITH the downbeat ending. That's why I ask David Fincher to please, please release a Director's Cut. I know the real ending is out there somewhere.
