Ready or not, here comes The Game

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2014)

I have seen this film twice. While it is my least favorite of Fincher's, i still like it. Rarely a dull moment. If you're a fan of suspense, you're in luck. Overall, i would say the core of this tale is Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Majority of the movie is set in San Francisco,with a brief, but cool view of the Golden Gate Bridge by night during one of the more dramatic scenes. It is unfortunate, however, that you realize how far fetched the whole story is by the end of the movie. Regardless, the cast is not bad at all and the acting not too shabby. After all, we're talking about Michael Douglas and Sean Penn here... playing brothers. Good score; very effective. Moral of the story: Don't let your childhood crap ruin your adult life.
