Great idea, terrible execution.

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2014)

The Game isn't terrible, it has top notch acting from both Douglas, Penn and Unger. However there's a reason this is deserving of a 5 and not an 8 or 9.
I can only suspend my disbelief so far and The Game is about a mile beyond that, the original idea of a man who is bored of life's activities intrigued enough to sign up for a "game" without any idea what it's about. However, the execution of said idea is about as ridiculous as Stalone and De Niro making a boxing movie in 2013.
Okay first off, 53 year old Michael Douglas would most likely die from the stunts his character performs in the movie. The first likely death or serious injury of Douglas would have occurred in the first adventure where they have to fall what looks like 25-30 feet into metal garbage bins, better have good aim considering they looked to be about 4x5 feet. Next,the taxi bail into the body of water according to Christine they had a safety net, except how long would it take to pull out a full cab of water, most likely long enough for him to drown. I'll skip the minor possibilities and go right to the most ridiculous part, the end, so Douglas shoots his brother with what i assume is a blank because they showed his chest, after shooting his brother he jumps off the building and happens to land perfectly on the target they had set up, lucky he walked off the perfect spot of the building, also lucky he didn't have a heart attack on the way down which is common for people jumping off skyscrapers, also also lucky he landed o the target zone on his back or chest and not his neck.
Anyways not a terrible movie but a little bit silly for me.
