When does the game end?

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2007)

I read descriptions of the this film calling it a masterpiece and was compelled to comment. Whilst a great film on first watching, a masterpiece it is not...Whilst the Seven director did his best to draw out the suspense you could not really watch the later parts of this film without thinking...this is all a game. Whilst the end is powerful and gripping, you're still telling yourself in the back of the mind...this is all a game. And there is the problem. Only with a few fleeting moments do you really think this could be something more sinister, which was a trick missed i feel. This could have transpired into a wicked heist film. It's gripping, but not on your wallet, not enough Sean Penn and too much of Mikey Douglas. Worth a look.
