Plot outline: Nicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone. In the year of his 48th birthday (the age his father committed suicide) his brother Conrad, who has gone long ago and surrendered to addictions of all kinds, suddenly returns and gives Nicholas a card giving him entry to unusual entertainment provided by something called Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Giving up to curiosity, Nicholas visits CRS and all kinds of weird and bad things start to happen to him. Summary written by Anonymous
Comment: Intellegent film that loses itself at the end. Enjoyed this much more than David Fincher's previous film, Seven(1995). Michael Douglas gives a brilliant performance as a man who is bored with his predictable life. Things goes out of wack for him when he is given a unique game as a birthday present by his younger brother. There are scenes that are worthy of David Cronenberg. The Game(1997) never loses its nerve wecking intensity and suspense for one second. The direction is highly charged and well imagined. One actor that makes an impression is Out of the Blue(1980) star Linda Manz as one of Claire's friends. Sean Pean is excellent as Nicholas Von Orton's rebellious and unpredictable brother, Conrad.
