David Fincher's The Game is more about straight-up paranoia. A rich investment banker approaches his 48th birthday, the same age his father committed suicide. What does his younger brother get for the depressed man who has everything? An invitation to play The Game -- a mysterious offering with no rules, no boundaries, and no clues as to who's in on it or not. He finds himself caught in The Game before he even knows it's begun.

Thanks for the recommendation! Just finished watching this and I'm still feeling a little tense.

I really liked the entire film, but (concerning the end) I feel that it was somewhat implausible, and very strange. An experience that would drive him to suicide would most likely have a drastic impact on his psyche. I can't imagine coming out of that and not being hosed in some way, much less being perfectly ok with it like he was.



Overall, though, it was a fantastic film. Surprised to see Fincher's name, further cementing him as one of my favorite directors.
