Ben & Rob lose touch with reality as they play ‘The Game’, David Fincher’s 1997 mystery thriller straring Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger and James Rebhorn. When merchant banker Nicolas receives a voucher for a game from his brother Conrad, he ends up fighting to keep control of his life and mind as the birthday present from hell has him confronting his past. Often overlooked in Fincher’s catalogue, we continue our series covering EVERY David Fincher movie EVER and take a long look at how this movie holds up to contemporary audiences.

Released hot on the heels of David Fincher’s cinematic smash hit ‘Se7en’ this mystery movie found a warm reception from both critics and cinema-goers with its tale of suspicion and suspense, but post 2008 can we still empathise with investment bankers? Why did David Fincher pick this script from the pile he had thrown at him after ‘Se7en’? And what DOES Ben despise the rich so much?
