I first saw this in Tucson Arizona when it came out in the theaters I couldn't believe the movie it was great you never knew what was going to happen next it kept you on the seat of your pants the whole time Sean Penn was great Michael Douglas as usual was so believable in his role when you saw the movie you felt it could happen to you I wanted to play that game so bad what a terrific movie you got to see it

If you've ever just happened to find a diamond or a hunk of gold or found out something you thought was junk was actually a priceless treasure, you'll understand how I felt when I got this movie included in a lot purchase of video tapes. As I unpacked my new tapes, I cast this one aside, never intending to watch it. Not "my kind of movie", I thought. Well, I was bored one day and wanted to watch something I hadn't seen a million times, so into the VCR it went. WOOF! This movie was gripping and surprising from beginning to end. Just when you're sure it is about to be predictable, it twists deliciously. Fiendishly. Michael Douglas is in top form in this thriller, which is the story of a birthday "gift" gone horribly wrong. ... so why does everyone keep saying they remember their "first time" with The Game? You'll have to watch what happens to understand ... and you'll have to watch closely until the very last minute of this excellent flick. Male or female; whether or not you think action/thrillers are "your kind of movie", I highly recommend The Game. A "sleeper" masterpiece of treachery and hope and having the guts to keep going when everything in your world is lost.Read full review
I love this movie because it is a psychological thriller, and not your typical Michael Douglas Film. Douglass is perfect in it and Sean Penn adds to it's success. When watching this film you will be part of the game also.

The Game is a very interesting thriller. The film has so many twists and turns it will leave your head spining! There really is no logic to what happens next. Michael Douglas plays a role of a wealthy, bitter man that does not recognize a bizarre birthday present from his brother played by Sean Penn. I really enjoyed the suspense during the entire film and bought the movie because it is worth watching more than once.
Michael Douglas does a terrific job selling his character. Sean Penn also does a nice job. Good supporting cast. Effects also sell the movie. Wish there were more like this. Mark Gee
