The Game


A successful investment banker is given an unusual birthday present by his loser brother: an invitation to take part in The Game. The banker decides to play The Game, and soon his life is turned upside down and inside out, and he (and the audience) is no longer sure what is real and what is not. He goes through various attempts on his life as he struggles to find out what The Game is about and who is behind it.
The film has been variously praised and condemned by the critics. Seems it will appeal to the masses, and leave film buffs feeling cheated due to all the copycat scenes and characters.
