8/10
Glad he's not my Brother
7 March 2004
Warning: Spoilers
What an amazing thriller, it's totally original, i've never seen anything like it before. The casting of Michael Douglas and Sean Penn was inspired and the story is compelling to say the least.

Nicholas Van Orton (Douglas) receives a strange birthday gift from his brother Conrad (Penn) A game, that's the gift, a game that plunges him into a living nightmare; a conspiracy (or so it appears) Life or death, true or false; The Game poses many questions and is steeped in mystery and tension from the moment it begins.

All the questions do get answered by the end, and the surprise ending caps off this thriller excellently.

Terrific entertainment 8/10
