Summary: Multimillionaire Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) just received The Game as his birthday present from his brother, Conrad (Sean Penn). Nicholas has been enrolled in a game- a profound life experience. He does not know what the game is- or what the object is- as he's told, the object of the game is to discover what the object is. Suddenly, the game takes a terrifying turn as unseen forces attempt to dismantle his entire life. Van Orton must now discover the object of the game before it gets him killed!

Review:

Tim: What an amazing film. Michael Douglas is at his usual greatness as Nicholas Van Orton. The Game is a twisting, turning, action packed thrill ride. The film makes you question every second whether the events are part of the game, or of something more sinister.

The film isn't boring for a single moment, and you will be so enthralled in the film, attempting to figure out what's going on as you watch Van Orton's plight. The film is immensely entertaining and thrilling. I seriously recommend watching The Game. It is just excellent.
The film is supposed to be confusing, so don't worry, that is the point of it being suspenseful. If you understood every second of the way, it wouldn't be a good movie at all.This is an excellent film. You can't criticize it for making you think, that's not the movie's fault.

It is a great movie. I recommend it!
