dumb, confusing, and overrated

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2002)

What a mess of a movie, the whole idea of Micheal Douglas being the subject of a game is a good idea, but it just doesnt seem to work. It never really gives much suspense or excitement. Micheal Douglas plays the same boring victim he has played in all of his other movies in the past 15 years(with the exeption of Falling Down "1993". Sean Penn should have only been billed as a special appearence because he is only in the movie for about 15 minutes at most. Overall "The Game" is a predictable and boring mess that I will never play again. 3 out of 10.
