The Game
David Fincher's suspenseful follow-up to the magnificent 'Seven' deals with an investment banker (Michael Douglas) who has everything he could ever want, plus a brother (Sean Penn) who signs him up for a 'profound life experience', tailor-made by Consumer Recreation Services. Soon he finds his ordered life drastically descending into something resembling total chaos. Possibly the ultimate paranoia movie.
