Good suspense movie, but nothing more

Like "Perfect Murder," the film is a suspenseful film starring Michael Douglas. A wealthy investment banker lives an unhappy life, with his father committing suicide at an early age, his wife divorced, and his relationship with his younger brother is unstable. On his 48th birthday, his younger brother came to him and introduced him to a game to experience life. He unknowingly got into the game, which was so real that he couldn't tell if it was a game or someone was trying to kill him. He couldn't trust everyone. Step by step, he was dragged into the abyss...

suspense films, I won't spoil much. The suspense setting is not bad, and the process of watching it is also quite nervous. However, I have watched too many movies, and the final ending is basically what I expected, but as the plot develops I am dragged to another prediction, which is the success of suspense films. The last scene on the roof was beyond my expectations and was a surprise.

However, apart from the suspense, the film has nothing to watch. Perhaps in order to avoid spoiling the atmosphere, the affection that could have been rendered was not fully expressed.

Off topic, in a Hollywood movie. Rich loners are always Investment Bankers because the filmmakers think they own everything and at the same time they own nothing. It's an interesting phenomenon.

Don't miss it if you like suspense movies.

    A game for the rich, isn't it? In fact, you can send a few killers directly to pretend to throw him down from the World Trade Center, so that he can regain his life, and the shots of jumping off the building are very beautiful. David’s movies leave the climax blooming at the end. When the answer to the game is finally revealed, it is estimated that the audience in the movie theater is as happy as the festival, relieved...

    David Fincher is still in the thriller style and has always remained suspenseful. The atmosphere of a large number of night scene lighting perspectives and soundtracks is rendered very well. All elements serve for the genre, so the plot should not be too real, and Douglas's character is unstable. It fits the setting of a character who becomes a marionette (DVD cover). The supporting role is good, and I heard sweetness, but I haven't seen this film, the archive film.

The Game quotes

  • Nicholas: [In the stopped elevator] I'll give you a boost.

    Christine: You first.

    Nicholas: This isn't an attempt to be gallant. If I don't lift you, how are you going to get there?

    Christine: You pull me up.

    Nicholas: It's much easier this way. Come on, step up...

    Christine: No.

    Nicholas: Please...

    Christine: I'm not wearing underwear. Okay? There, I said it. Satisfied?

    Nicholas: [Looks at her skirt] Oh. Fine.

  • Nicholas: So, you've played recently?

    New Member Ted: Oh, about a year ago. I was working in Los Angeles.

    Nicholas: I hear the London office is very good, too. It just sounds like a lot of fantasy, role-playing nonsense.

    New Member Ted: [leans in] You wanna know what it is? What it's all about?

    [Nicholas leans closer]

    New Member Ted: John 9:25.

    Nicholas: I... haven't been to Sunday school in a long time.

    New Member Ted: 'Whereas once I was blind, now I can see.'

    [rises]

    New Member Ted: Good night, Nicholas. Best of luck.

    Nicholas: Good night.
