The Game Ratings & Reviews
Ty Leet
September 17, 2024
How had I not heard of this sooner! Great ride, a plot that keeps you guessing all the way through. David Fincher does it again!
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Douglas is the right actor for the role. He can play smart, he can play cold, and he can play angry. He is also subtle enough that he never arrives at an emotional plateau before the film does, and never overplays the process of his inner change.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The picture provides Douglas with one of his best roles. If he doesn't quite reach the bizarre heights he achieved in Falling Down, The Game makes its own demands.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The Game is an intensely exciting puzzle-gimmick thriller, the kind of movie that lets you know from the start that it's slyly aware of its own absurdity (which is why it can then get away with it).
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Douglas, who delivers a new shade of cruel elegance each time he plays another urbane monster, is the ideal star for this vigorously contrived thriller.
USA Today
Mike Clark
A crowd-pleasing pip most of the way.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's not for everyone and it doesn't make much sense when you stop to think about it, but it's still a lot more fun than Parcheesi.
Newsweek
David Ansen
The rational side of my brain can pick this movie apart until all that's left is incoherent threads. The movie-mad side, happy to lose control, had a hell of a good time.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This 1997 thriller is fairly entertaining nonsense if all you're looking for is 128 minutes of diversion. But if you'd like something more from David Fincher, the director of Seven, don't get your hopes up.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Regardless of how far one chooses to buy into The Game -- and the ending ambiguously suggests that it could go on and on -- there is no doubt as to Fincher's staggering expertise as a director and his almost clinical sense of precision.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's like the most hideously overproduced episode of The Twilight Zone on record, complete with a last twist that pretty much reduces what came before to soap bubbles.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Fincher is still working on the assumption that he has better things to do than entertain an audience. Which would be fine if he weren't drawn to such schlocky material.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Sure, it strains credulity, but it's clever, well-paced and builds to a spectacular -- if not altogether satisfying -- conclusion.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
This is one of those movies that's so tightly written and densely plotted, it leaves no room for error -- or viewer queries. Unfortunately, the questions will start flying even before the picture's over.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a top-tier thriller that doesn't always seem to get the respect and admiration it clearly deserves.
Arizona Daily Star
Phil Villarreal
"The Game" is a thrilling end run of deception in which a master manipulator is masterfully manipulated.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Engaging '90s thriller has lots of violence, profanity.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
A solid original screenplay -- one of the best out of Hollywood this year.
