Review for "The Game"

At only 15 minutes into the movie, "The Game", I found myself perched on the edge of my seat, tightly clutching the plastic popcorn bowl. The question "What is going on?" continuously flashed through my mind until reaching the intense, final climax at the very end of the film. "The Game" is a psychological thriller involving a prestigious man, who has everything money can buy, being sent by his younger brother on a mind blowing journey of a lifetime. The man's real life begins to become tangled deep in with "the game", over time hinting towards a larger conspiracy. The two main actors, Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, are very convincing and contribute substantially to the suspense of the film. As suspense continues building until the end and your breath becomes shorter, the true meaning of "the game" is revealed, unravelling a new outlook on the entire movie. "The Game" is an extremely intense movie guaranteed to take you on an adventure you won't soon forget.
