Impossibly engaging only if you know nothing before watching

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 1998)

This film, so long as you have no prior knowledge of the plot, is one of the most intensely engaging cinematic experiences of the past quarter-century. David Fincher shows us he is a directorial force to be reckoned with, and Michael Douglas couldn't be more perfectly cast as the man who must realize, like us, that "figuring out the object of The Game IS the object of The Game."
