Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2012)

A very smart thriller, the plot unfolds time to time and turns and twists and surprises and toys around with your mind and builds hyper- tension and plays a game with the viewers. "The Game" is just another reason why Fincher is hailed as one of the best living directors of Cinema. A highly imaginative piece of Cinema. The way Fincher sustains the intrigue throughout the movie and arouses the fear of excitement is just top-notch.
The visual style combining dark sense and imaginative/creative capabilities is always something to watch out for in Fincher movies. What he wants the audience to feel and imagine, we exactly feel the same way. That's always been his trademark!
The ending does have a few plot holes but with a little cinematic liberty, Fincher makes the whole movie-experience all the more interesting for us. Michael Douglas gives a riveting performance. He and Fincher together makes us experience the same emotions as Nicholas Van Orton character feels in the movie. So it turns out to be an emotional ride where we also along with the main character (playing The Game) don't know the truth till the last moment.
"You don't go to the Game, it comes to you!" A really brilliant and clever movie. Must Watch.
