David Fincher is a GOD

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 1999)

I cannot say enough good things about this film or David Fincher's other masterpiece Se7en. What I find so appealing is how unconventional his film making is. It's never predictable and never obvious. Just when you think you've figured it out, he tells you that you're wrong. I know many of will never forgive Fincher after Alien 3, but the movie wasn't as bad as anyone says. It didn't live up to Aliens, but what could? Alien and Aliens are two of the best science fiction movies ever, anything else could barely compare. Also, Alien 3 started shooting without a script. Any good director knows you have to have a solid script before you start something like this, but Fincher had just entered the movie business from the land of music videos and took whatever job he could get. Wouldn't you? He then proceeded to turn Alien 3 into the film the nobody could stop talking about, with a finale that people still have a hard time believing. And that's what he's all about-endings.
The Game was a truly under appreciated masterpiece that got trampled, in part, because it got released in late August-early September and anyone in the movie business knows that release date is just hell. Right after the massive summer and right before the fall Oscar blitz, The Game got trampeled and too many people missed it. It's quite unfortunate, really. I suggest you go and rent it, and tell your friends about this. It deserves more appreciation than it received.
