To this day, there are still many friends around me who still miss the classic American drama "Friends" .
Today, Bingbing would like to recommend to you a movie that fans call the movie version of "Friends", which is "Game Night". The film is directed by John Francis Daly , who is a resident actor on the hit American TV series Bones , playing the role of psychologist Lance Sweets.
Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams), top gamers, meet and fall in love one game night.
Even the proposal Max was through the "I draw you guess" game, and their wedding was a big "dancing machine competition" scene. The married life of two people with the same interests is very envious of others, and from time to time they invite friends to their home for a game night.
It must be said that the fly in the ointment is that the two have not had a baby for a long time after their marriage. After examining the doctor, they speculated that Max had been under the shadow of his overly good brother for a long time, resulting in his lack of sperm activity. Anyway, although this reason is a bit far-fetched, since it is a comedy, we should not pursue it too much. Annie has a plan. She is going to hold a game night and invite friends who often play together and her brother to participate.
This time, she wants to make sure her husband will win.
After the death of their neighbor Debbie, his husband Gary (Jesse Plemons) has attended several game nights. But because of his strange personality, he is often a topic stopper, and Max and the others gradually stopped calling him. In order to avoid Gary, good friends over the wall into the room through a window, only brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler ornaments) come with great fanfare.
Unsurprisingly, Brooks won again and shook up a lot of Max's childhood scandals. After the party, Brooks invites everyone to a game night at his house in the affluent neighborhood, which he promises they will never forget.
On the day of the game, after all the members had arrived, Brooks said that he had hired a special game company to plan the game, and the upgraded game became a live-action game: one of the 7 people would be taken away quietly, and then The remaining 6 people tried their best to find this person according to the clues . Whoever finds it first is the winner, and the winner will get the male protagonist's dream car as a reward.
At this time, a man claiming to be the FBI knocked on the door and was led into the room by Brooks. The detective said that there had been a vicious serial kidnapping case nearby recently. Before he could finish speaking, several men in black entered the room, beat Brooks and took him away. What about Max and his party? They thought it was an arranged plot, so they didn't interfere at all, and they laughed silly while eating cheese.
After Brooks was kidnapped, a group of people watching the play on the sofa immediately entered the game state.
Black couple Kevin (Ramony Morris) and Michelle (Kelly Banbury) walk into the study, find the stapler from the first puzzle given to them, and then hide in the stapler. Find the second puzzle in the U disk in the book machine. As they ponder, the door to the study is blocked by Ryan (Kyle Chandler) and Sarah (Sharon Horgan) with a sofa.
Ryan and Sarah found the company by looking up Brooks' credit card information, and they suddenly realized that the kidnappers who kidnapped Brooks were not the staff but the real kidnappers. They immediately called Kevin and his wife, who were still in the house, and confirmed it from the actor who played the FBI.
After everyone realized this, they suddenly felt very scared, and it seemed that an unknown force was intervening in their game night.
On the other hand, Max, who tracked Brooks all the way through the ipad, was having a good time. They were overjoyed that they had cracked the game set up by their brother so quickly this time. At this time, the real kidnapper who kidnapped Brooks rushed into the room, and Annie picked up the gun she thought was a prop and shot it with a "bang". Unexpectedly, the bullet strayed and shot into her husband's arm, and they finally realized that this was not a live-action game arranged by my brother...
The brawny men who took Brooks in front of them are real kidnappers!
This game team unexpectedly became a rescue team. When I was watching the movie, I unconsciously sighed that I was really lucky to have such a group of friends. Do you remember that weird neighbor Gary? Remember this guy, he'll give this movie a little climax and you'll be hooked!
To know how to reverse it next, please watch the video for yourself.
As a thriller, it is undoubtedly a success.
Just when you think "that's how it is", the next second it's "What the F*ck".
As a comedy, it's unquestionably superb.
There are some very strange laughs in the film, such as the strong glass throughout, for example, in order to find personnel information in Gary's computer, he accidentally turned the "sanctuary" he made about his wife into a murder scene, such as Michelle thought. I cheated on myself and slept with celebrity Denzel Washington, but in fact it was just for passers-by. Another example is the 17-dollar episode where Ryan negotiated with the staff at the company...
As a family film, it is undoubtedly full marks.
When Brooks thought he was about to be torn apart, he put his hands on his head and lay on the ground to his younger brother who was in the same position and said that he actually envied him. After graduating successfully, you have a serious job, a decent house, a beautiful and interesting wife, and more importantly, a group of like-minded friends. And he is just a liar, a loser who "wins" by cheating.
Finally, I want to say, don't underestimate those unremarkable or even annoying friends, and be nice to them even if you don't want to play together. Because you never know what they're going to do behind your back, and you never know if they're going to kill you at the last minute.
Bingbing stop talking nonsense here, let's watch a movie together :D
