Full Review Page

Another movie that's incredibly hard to discuss without spoiling anything and this is definitely a movie that you want to know as little about as possible. I got The Game confused with Wall Street (not sure how, they only have Micheal Douglas in common), so it was all new to me and I wouldn't have had it any other way. It's a David Fincher film, so of course the movie is beautifully shot and there are some great cinematography moments. What is going to be debatable is the story, which is going to lean really heavily on your ability to not over think things and fully embrace suspension of disbelief. For me, it worked for the first 100 minutes and then it just pushes things way too far and I could no longer silence the alarm in my brain screaming "That's just not how things work! What about ________ and ________ and why don't they ___________ or what if _____________ had happened?". If we just end the film six or seven minutes early, we'd eliminate all of my biggest issues
