I know it's a bit random to make a thread about a movie from so long ago...but I just saw this incredible movie the other day on Netflix. It's completely flown under the radar for me in terms of Fincher's work.
Has anyone seen it?
Basic premise:
The ending is a nice contrast to the bleakness of some of his other stuff (Se7en, Fight Club) etc, and it's been described as a modern day tale of A Christmas Carol in terms of its narrative.[/ISPOILERThe Game is a 1997 American thriller film directed by David Fincher, starring Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger and James Rebhorn and produced by Propaganda Films and PolyGram Filmed Entertainment. It tells the story of a wealthy investment banker who is given a mysterious gift by his brother—participation in a game that integrates in strange ways with his everyday life. As the lines between the banker's real life and the game become more uncertain, hints of a larger conspiracy begin to unfold.
