The Game (1997)


Listen Later

This week on Alcohollywood, we take on one of David Fincher's lesser-known films, the 1997 thriller The Game! Uptight investment banker Nicholas Van Orton (a wonderful Michael Douglas) receives a 48th birthday present from his ne'er-do-well brother Conrad (Sean Penn) to participate in a service that turns his life into a thrilling 'game.' When the game starts to go too far, Nicholas is forced to fight for his life, while also trying to track down who's behind these dangerous pranks. The film is wonderfully made, with very strong performances, crisp, slick direction from Fincher, and enough twists and turns to keep you genuinely guessing until the very end. Furthermore, we've got our own 'game' for you to play to The Game, along with our custom cocktail!
