Review of The Game

The Game (1984)
3/10
Fairly trite nonsense

Rich old buggers invite a group of youngsters to a resort, to see if they can survive their weekend's trials of fear. The last one standing at the end walks away with a million dollars.

I watched this movie under the title "The Cold" and pretty much throughout the whole movie was trying to work out why. Don't think at any point I ever did. "The Game" at least makes some kind of sense.

This is fairly trite nonsense; the director shamelessly attempts to cover-up his weak script with nudity, dancing and a band that need to practise more. It wouldn't be that bad if he had something else to offer but - alas, he doesn't. The supporting cast are all terrible actors; indeed a few are irritating morons.

However, the indiscernible plot actually keeps you guessing to get you to the end, but when it eventually (thankfully) comes, leaves nothing answered in any satisfactory way.
