Expected end in an unexpected way

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2011)

It is another David Fincher thriller. There is one thing about all these David Fincher thrillers; they all hit the bulls-eye to give the viewers a roller-coaster ride in terms of thrill and suspense. Nicholas Van Orton is an investment banker, who is super successful when it comes to making money. But he is alone, and he does not mind himself getting alienated from most of the people including his wife and brother, Conrad. His luxurious, routine and also boring life took a drastic turn when he enrolled himself in a 'game',which was given to him by Conrad as a Birthday gift.
From that moment, the movie revolves to show erroneous events occurring. Even though one can expect or predict the end, but they certainly can't expect or predict the 'way' it comes to that expected end. Michael Douglas as Nicholas is great and delivers a good performance. Sean Penn, as Conrad is also according and just. Credits to David Fincher for keeping the suspense unaltered throughout the movie.
Watch this one, and you will have a great time.
