I watch a lot of movies, and I always habitually click on foreign movies. I always feel that I can see different surprises in the movies, so when I see the title of the movie, I open it without hesitation.
In the film, Max, Annie and their friends have always maintained the habit of partying and playing games on weekends. Max and his older brother Brooks have never won games since they were young, causing psychological shadows, high stress, low sperm motility, and inability to conceive children; the neighbor is a policeman, and his temperament has changed greatly because of the death of his wife. These games Playmate, always deliberately staying away from him; brother Brooks is a luxury car, generous, always used to laugh at his younger brother, a cynical image of a rich man, causing dissatisfaction with Rachel's sister-in-law Annie, who always loses in front of his brother. Qi's husband wants to compete with Brooks, and the game war breaks out.
My brother wanted to use the name of the game to repair the brotherhood, but he didn't expect "fake drama to be real", and the fake kidnapping turned into a real kidnapping; in order to make everyone accept him again, the neighbor carefully directed a kidnapping case. The two kidnappings are superimposed together to promote the development of the story, the true and false case, the repeated relationship, the broken conversation, and the neat editing. It made people spend 90 minutes in tension, and it was really enjoyable.
The game is no longer a game. The two brothers regained their friendship through the game, the neighbors were reconciled through the game, and the husband and wife deepened the relationship through the game. The director tried to give you more surprises in the confined space, and tried various styles such as horror, gunfights, car chases, etc. Rachel's scene of terrorizing the gangsters with a gun in the warehouse was very exciting. However, too much emphasis is placed on the kidnapping process, while ignoring the case and the reasoning of the game, resulting in the film's narrative being too simple, which also shows that the director's purpose is not the game itself, but to use the name of the game to ease the relationship between people in the real society. There are many problems between people, but the lack of game logic and case reasoning makes the film difficult to say as a whole.
