The Game review

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2016)

The Game is a film starring Michael Douglas as Nicholas Van Orton, a successful businessman who receives a gift from his brother Conrad Van Orton (Sean Penn) for his birthday. The gift was a certificate for a program, a program called 'The Game' little did Douglas know it, this Game would change his life forever. The Director David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) did a fantastic job in this movie. The whole film was so captivating, and Douglas' performance was one of the greatest i've seen. It was such a different, and interesting concept of a film, it was definitely one that was always stay with me after seeing it. With fantastic twists and turns throughout the whole movie, and great supporting performances from Penn, The Game is a real treat! I tend to love everything that Michael Douglas is in, he hasn't done any film i've seen where he didn't give an amazing performance. One of his most memorable performance was from Oliver Stone's 'Wall Street' as Gordon Gekko. That was a brilliant performance, but in my opinion, his performance as Nicholas Van Orton stands higher up the rank. Don't miss the game! One of the most well- thought psychological thrillers of the 90s.
