The Game

Newly Added • 2h 8m

Directed by David Fincher • 1997 • United States
Starring Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger

The enormously wealthy and emotionally remote investment banker Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) receives a strange gift from his ne’er-do-well younger brother (Sean Penn) on his forty-eighth birthday: a voucher for a game that, if he agrees to play it, will change his life. Thus begins a trip down the rabbit hole that is puzzling, terrifying, and exhilarating for Nicholas and viewers alike. This multilayered, noirish descent into one man’s personal hell is also a surreal, metacinematic journey that, two years after the phenomenon SE7EN, further demonstrated that director David Fincher was one of Hollywood’s true contemporary visionaries.
