What do you get for the man who has everything...?

In honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nary a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 88.00/100.00

The movie's thriller elements are given an additional gloss by the skill of the technical credits, and the wicked wit of the dialogue.

悬疑片就是要这样拍才过瘾!超大型真人秀剧本杀电影,这大概是所有亿万富翁梦寐以求的沉浸体验,当然,前提是那些让人瞠目结舌的危险操作真的有保障的情况下(但是如果主人公事前确定绝对安全,又会兴致索然),这的确会有一种心理上的疗愈效果:以濒死体验和危机绝境,唤起被金钱和权力麻木的良知,在一种一切尽失的情况下重获新生,从而真的看清自己。这个游戏要实现并非不可能,最大的困难在于跟踪,要全程有人陪同,无论水下还是坟墓,24小时跟踪监护,再加上众多群演和专业人员配合,其难度一点不亚于拍摄一部大型电影。现实中游戏主策划如果能把这个游戏全程跟下来,不出纰漏,基本上能顶半个斯皮尔伯格,至少在场面调度这一块业界大拿了。The Game最大的乐趣是让玩家失去掌控,从嬉皮笑脸到最后心惊胆战,傲慢消失了,你开始重新敬畏这个世界。

Desson Thomson · Washington Post 80.00/100.00

It's formulaic, yet edgy. It's predictable, yet full of surprises. How far you get through this tall tale of a thriller before you give up and howl is a matter of personal taste.
