I was inspired on yesterday's "favorite David Fincher movie" thread to rewatch The Game, a movie that I really loved when it was first released but that I hadn't watched in several years.
Rewatching the film, I enjoyed it quite a bit and was reminded of so many reasons that I loved the film when I first saw. The look of the film, Fincher's direction, the performances, the unusual concept . . . all great.
But one thing really stood out to me: It is SUPER FUCKING IMPLAUSIBLE! And not implausible in the way that a Superman movie is, which is fantasy in the most literal sense of the word. The Game supposedly takes place in the regular world, and plays by regular world rules. But holy shit is there no way in hell the series of events in the movie would EVER play out like that.
So yeah, I enjoyed it, but I had a real struggle suspending my disbelief. I had to try to turn that shit all the way off.
Anyway, what's everyone think about The Game?
