“The game is tailored specifically to each participant. Think of it as a great vacation, except you don't go to it, it comes to you.”

Welcome back to another birthday celebrating, life-changing, and intricately elaborate episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!

Life can be dull and repetitive. And it's so easy to wave one's birthday off as just another day.

But what do you get a man who has everything for his birthday?

A life and literal game-changing elaborate experience! And that’s exactly the scenario that our protagonist finds himself in with this week’s film, The Game, a little 1997 American thriller directed by David Fincher, starring Michael Douglas!

So join us as we choose to play and find out if  David Fincher’s The Game is a needlessly complicated, improbable mess requiring too much suspension of disbelief, or if it's still a thrilling film-going edge of your seat experience that  rewards the viewer for participating in its elaborate shenanigans!!

“I was drugged and left for dead in Mexico - and all I got was this stupid T-shirt.”
