The Game —

This is one of the best action movies I have seen to date. The movie is filled with action and suspense along with the deeper message about waking up to life for the first time and letting go of control and emotional conditioning. Nicholas Van Orton was born into extreme wealth... and with that comes many expectations, emotionally conditioning and a life mapped out ahead of him. He is a wealthy, shell of a man who is numb to life expressed through emotions. Everything in Nicholas life is controlled and expected.What do you give a man who has everything that money can buy??. Well if he's your brother and money is no object, you give him the one thing he can't purchase. Another chance at life!! Eventually Nicholas completely loses his stranglehold grip on self control and is left with having to live through his emotions. This movie takes the audience through so many shocking twists and turns that even a hardcore detective like me, who can usually see the predictable outcome in the next scene... and ultimately the grand finale was totally taken by surprise! This movie doesnt disappoint. The last scene of the movie is a profound lesson in self discovery. Afterall the old saying rings true "Money doesn't buy happiness, love or health. It never did and it never will".
