The Game (1997) (7/10)

Riveting, compelling at the start. Then for a little bit it seems a bit like those internet puzzles where all you are supposed to do is to figure out going to the next step. But this is not exactly like that since the next step comes to you. Its too elaborate, and has too much confidence in the deductive and follow-up powers of the victim. The initial seduction to the idea is of course based on curiosity, and the ability to be sucked in no matter how aloof you consider yourself to be. A few twists, but again a bit too elaborate and big and too realistic. One wrong turn and poof. But no, everything seems well executed. The victim does not realize whats happening at all.
