Good, but can be confusing!

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2012)

'The Game' is one of those movies that is completely different from anything else you will ever see. Michael Douglas goes out of his element in this film and does a pretty decent job.
However, you should realize that this is a sci-fi-bordering-on-fantasy kind of film. There are a great many parts of the movie which are simply impossible and/or extremely unlikely **HUGE SPOILER** (i.e. falling 100+ stories through the roof of a huge ballroom and landing on an air cushion, then standing up and suddenly the past week of confusion, frustration, and near-death experiences is completely gone. So we might as well walk around the party for a few hours like nothing ever happened). **HUGE SPOILER**
Certain scenes can be so bizarre and confusing that it will likely leave the average viewer with that let-down or "I-don't-get-it" feeling so be warned. But if you're all for the mysterious/strange/off- the-wall mind stuff then go right ahead, you'll enjoy it. Just don't try to figure the whole thing out in the first sitting; if you want to fully get a grip on this movie, you'll want to watch it three more times at least.
Solid 7/10.
