Game, The (1997)

reviewed by
Jonathon Krakower


In this suspense thriller Michael Duglas is an all work and no joke business man. Duglas who plays a man with no wife only a housekeeper who's known th family since Duglas' character was a kid. In the movie Duglas watches his father leap to his death on his 48th birthday. Now it's duglas' 48th birthday and his brother wants to do something special for him. Something fun. This present was pretty much a game. The company CRS, is a company that plays with your mind(as a viewer and a character). They manipulate Michael Duglas by messing with his life. Sean Penn who is metioned a lot on the commercials is not at all as big a character as you would expect, but he plays his part to the fullest. This is a must see 4 star movie. Probably a few Academy Award nominations. Best character, best screenplay,and best movie.
