"In this thriller, Nicholas Van Orton, a shrewd and successful businessman who is always in control, has been enrolled by his brother in "The Game"--"a profound life experience" with no rules, which begins quietly but soon erupts in a confusing maze of devastating events. Terrorized by forces who seem intent on dismantling all that he has built, Van Orton has to win this deadly game or lose control of everything in his life."

It was fun because I didn’t know what was going to happen.
The Clown made me scared.
Thriller

Michael Douglas is good for this role. Nice callback to Wall Street and Falling Down. James Rebhorn is the best.
This movie requires suspension of disbelief. But I do wonder if the news stories in the background (companies fighting against providing health insurance, stocks) and the way everything just magically works for the rich elites is some sort of class commentary.
I prefer Total Recall as a movie with a similar plot.
