"Mind Games" play games with life! A rich man who was troubled by the shadow of his childhood, a mysterious club membership card, a birthday gift that he will never forget. The movie is really fascinating, especially in the first half of the story. Everything is up in the air, seemingly unrelated, but in fact interlocking. You cleverly think that everything is under control, but you have already entered the trap of others. Like "The Seven Deadly Sins", director David Fincher first dug a large enough hole for the audience. The difference is that the process of filling the hole was too rough this time. It took a lot of effort to design all kinds of suspense points in the plot, but it is completely out of the emotional level of the characters. The weight of the form exceeds the core of the story (the male protagonist’s inner self-salvation). Although the plot is constantly inverted, it is really exciting. But the expression of the theme of the film is too vague, and there is no aftertaste at all. The hero’s character set can only be said to be half standing. The "breaking" process is very exciting and sufficient, but the final completion of self-salvation is too thin and facial. 6 points. Ps: From Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt to Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, the big names of the same water, the appeal of David Fincher can be seen.
