HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. DOUGLAS

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2002)

Some of you know what it's like to be completely surprised by the ending of a movie. 'the game' is a good thriller, but what really surprised me was both the story and the ending. For me this is Douglas best performance since Wall Street. He plays a very un-nervous person, who seems to be well in touch with reality. Once he strands in Mexico, he seems to lose it and I thought at that point: 'Falling down' once again? It ends like a gigantic joke, and that's the only thing I can't understand. I mean, they take away everything and it doesn't seem to bother him at the end, after a jump of death!!! Come on!!!
But... I really must admit I liked it. Fincher (seven, fight club, panic room) surprises. three out of five.
