Suspense, action, drama. All rolled into one. Sean penn had enough of a role in the movie to add dynamics.
Highly recommended.

Epic.

Its 2019. Movies don’t touch you like this. They don’t ring the same timbre.

Thrilling and then some

when you have "everything in your life" there is more and this movie is so much more - wish life could be as Sean says "a profound life experience."

Good movie.

It reminds me of a Stephen king short story I read once called Quitters Inc. from his short story collection Night Shift.

This is not a movie that requires an in-depth analysis or praise of the writing, acting, direction, or cinematography. The excellence of these is a given. The story is unique, compelling, scary, and it drives you to the same point of desparation as the protagonist, plus it has a great pay-off. I own this on DVD and later as an iTunes purchase. I've watched it roughly once every 20 months since it came out and it's just as good every time. If you are into thrillers, this one should definitely be in your library.

This movie is in class all its own. I rarely feel the desire to review or rate a movie but in this case I felt it was more than necessary. This movie had an extraordinary impact on me and the way that I thought about everything. I highly recommend watching this movie and when it's over ask your self if you truly understand what reality is and whether or not it is absolutely and cannot be manipulated. Perhaps I read too deeply into the concept of this movie but he deeply affected my perception of reality.

This movie might as well be the best movie I have seen in a long time. A classic movie with many twists and turns that you have to pay attention to which makes this a very interactive movie. If I were you, I wouldn't even think about renting this movie... I would buy the crap out of it.

And if you are indeed, in "too far", how do you know and what can you do to "stop the game". Watch this movie and find out. Very intense and it just keeps sucking you in deeper. Excellent story and acting. Gonna buy this one for my collection.

Nice

Well, the viewer MUST suspend disbelief during this movie, and then better not expect an ending that seems believable either. But if you're willing to close your eyes and take a ride, The Game is a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat film that does not skimp on excitement.

AMAZING!!!

honestly in terms of plot build up this movie was excellent, but the final scene for me just ruined the whole movie for me, their was so much great symobolism, but the ending was so impossible that i just disregaurded anything i had seen previously. if i watch this move again with someone else i will probebly stop it at the point when he's falling through the air just to help others appreciate what would have otherwise been a ingenious film.

An entertaining film

Without giving away anything from the film I'll say that the only negative is that the movie presumes a lot. I find myself always asking what if he didn't do this, or that what would happen. Michael Douglas was great in this and he really pulls you into the movie. I've watched it several times. Definitely worth a rent or even a buy if you like these types of movies

outstanding

Admittedly this is a very specific taste film, however it still seems a crime that this unpredictable and borderline surreal thriller was basically ignored by audiences and the Oscar voters. Michael Douglas is perhaps at his very best here, a master of the universe reduced to humbled desperation as he is thrust into a paranoid and dangerous labyrinth. You will be guessing until the final credits if the whole violent and devastating series of cliffhangers were a matter of life or death or part of the most elaborate game ever conceived.

Very Fun

This movie quickly draws you in and doesn't let go. It's got more twists than Fight Club, more scares than Zodiac, and as nearly as much charm as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Great!

This movie is every paranoid schizophrenic's worst nightmares. It wraps everything up very nicely at the end, at which point a massive wave of relief flooded my system, but I will tell you one thing: I am going to have nightmares tonight. Very freaky and profoundly disturbing, but I'm glad I watched this, somehow.

absolutely great!

Psychedelic, too good, very entertaining, not trivial, awesome performance form the actors Shen Penn and Michael Douglas first.
After, Please Ask yourself if you are not taking you too seriously too often if not enter The Game ! to quit it more surely.
Enjoy

The best suspense movie

One of the rare movies where you can't guess the ending. I likemovies where you're at the edge of your seat, and the ending is so satisfying. A smart thriller.

There is nothing longer and more boring than a predicable movie, of which this movie is not. I hate guessing the ending and being correct. This movie kept me guessing all the way though even at the end I could not tell "is it real or is it the game?".
