The Game
Directed by David Fincher
In honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nary a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I something think I'm a bigger fan of David Fincher's movies than David Fincher; he doesn't care for The Game, his 1997 follow up to Se7en, but I prefer it to later work like The Killer.
