A Twisted Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 1999)

Well what can I say about The Game? Watching it is just bizarre - Fincher takes us on an insane journey, twisting our perceptions of what is going on every few minutes. The amount of conclusions I jumped to and then abandoned, only to later return to is astounding.The ending, which in retrospect should have made me feel cheated (but somehow doesn't), is awesome. An almost flawless film, and I defy anyone to figure out what is *really* happening before the last 5 minutes. This film is twisted on a level I never even thought possible! A brilliant, brilliant job by Fincher. Even Douglas (who I dislike as an actor) performed well, and aside from the odd plot hole (which is to be expected wit ha plot as interlaced as this) I cannot fault it. Wow.
