Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Not sure what prompted me to finally pick this up but I’m damn glad to have seen it. Really had no idea what to expect or what was going on which really enhanced the mystery. Damn fine film and payoff. Bravo, David Fincher.
