The plot develops into a nerve-tingling thriller of bluff and double bluff set in San Francisco.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2024

One of Fincher's best. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 26, 2023

Douglas works hard, and even if it's at first enticing, the movie is shallow and much ado about nothing.

| Original Score: C | Jan 10, 2023

An effort that skirts the boundary between legitimately terrifying and ridiculous enough to be funny (25th anniversary

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2022

The Game is possibly David Fincher's finest movie (or at least a close second to Zodiac) and it is a pity that it is sandwiched between Se7en and Fight Club

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 24, 2021

It looks stunning, with every shadowy scene seemingly dipped in ink and some rapid-fire edits balanced by more experimental touches (super slow-mo squash, anyone?).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 7, 2021

A feral puzzle of absurd corporate antics, Fincher's third film posits a horrifying question that no other filmmaker has dared to ask: What if Sean Penn was your brother?

| Feb 17, 2021

"[L]ooking back on it now, it's one of the man's most assured tales, a clockwork thriller that turns all of Fincher's detail-oriented obsessiveness into a surprisingly emotional tale of catharsis and dark nights of the soul."

| Dec 22, 2020

There is certainly plenty to appreciate here, but the issues of this particular story are just too significant to overlook.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 17, 2020

The plausibility of the whole thing is ludicrously farfetched, but that's the point - and the fun.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 13, 2020

The more we invest in Nicholas' bank of experiences, the more we display our willing complicity with, even subservience to, a system that lets cocooned elites merely play games (on an urban, even international scale)

| Jul 27, 2020

A classy thriller, and yet further evidence of how Michael Douglas was able to nail these WASP-in-peril roles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2019

Douglas finally musters one of his best performances to carry Fincher's essay on self-reliance to its exciting, if absurd endgame.

| Jun 8, 2018

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.

| Feb 28, 2018

...a top-tier thriller that doesn't always seem to get the respect and admiration it clearly deserves.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 22, 2017

Engaging '90s thriller has lots of violence, profanity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 16, 2016

[N]ifty filmic style and crackpot sensibility.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 18, 2012

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 26, 2012

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.

| Oct 4, 2011

Sure, it strains credulity, but it's clever, well-paced and builds to a spectacular -- if not altogether satisfying -- conclusion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 4, 2011
