Riches blind you, wealth blinds you, success blinds you, and ironically, coming out after ‘Se7en,’ the film starts with the tale of a man who lost control over his life. ‘The Game‘ emerges as one of the most mysterious movies by Fincher and might serve as one of his very best.
From the very first frame, it gives viewers something to solve, even the animated jigsaw puzzle pieces scattering apart as the opening credits tell a tale of what’s coming.
