Michael Douglas in The Game

Advantages: Brilliant, fast paced film
Disadvantages: Can only watch it once!

The Game Background The Game comes from the director of the fantastic film Seven which may give a bit of a flavour of the type of magical movie journey that you are in for. What did I think of it? This was open of those movies that is fantastic when you watch it for the first time but also quite sad as you know that you can never watch it in quite the same way again once you know the plot (I am generally one of those people who can watch a film ...

The Plot: The Game stars Michael Douglas as the somewhat cold hearted and ruthless business ...
