David Fincher's 1997 thriller literally teeters on the edge of sanity when his
protagonist becomes involved in an elaborate game gifted to him by his brother.
Discovering what is and isn't part of the game is left up to the audience even
right to the very last moment. There is at points detours to what we think is
the narrative and just feel like challenges to overcome. There are moments of
dread and very little pleasure. We witness a man who on top of the mountain, be
it lonely, and fall slowly to rock bottom. We see him over come struggled he
may never have thought he would go through and then through it all, question
his own reality. Is this real or part of, the game?
