Game of Fear

The acting was good and storyline decent, unfortunately the music was way too loud and clunky and drowned out parts of the movie. It reminded me of when you see a singer who is not really confident and they just let their band run all over them and their singing is drowning in it. The quality of tje music wasn't very good either. It lacked instrumentation and sounded like a music producer friend of mine sitting in front of his computer and testing beats in an obnoxious way, not something that would make it to a movie Some one needed to ride rough shod over this music department because the music should add to the action, accentuate and support the scene, This movie could be several points better if the music were redone.

From about minute 1 the story is totally predictable, nothing surprises at all. This would not be so bad, if the story WANTS WANTS WANTS to surprise. But there is not one seductive trace that makes you not keep staring on the solution of every single line of suspense. This story has no power, no energy, no soul, no fire. Some 12 year old kids would probably write a better one. The only thing that really surprises is that good actors like Samuel L. Jackson are playing in this piece of crap.

What else can one say about this, besides the fact that the music kind of levels with one of the worst dramas I've seen in months?!

Don't even think of seeing this movie.

I watched this movie the other day and this was a decent flick worth watching. The acting was good and the plot was kind of neat. I have always been a fan of Mr. Jackson. His best roles are when he plays the bad guy. This movie might not win any awards but overall this movie was good to watch.

I gave this movie a 7 out of a possible 10. If you are a fan of Jackson and enjoy his bad boy attitude then this movie is right up your alley! Sit back open up a bag of popcorn and enjoy the plot. Me and my GF had a good time trying to figure out what was really going on. Just when you think you got it figured out something a new twist tricks ya!

But it's still pretty decent. Only if you overlook the major flaws of course (character decisions are purely executed on the "what's the worst decision I could make?" scale, always choosing exactly that one), which shouldn't be too difficult because of the actors in it. Yes the inciting incident is as stupid as it gets (especially considering the lawyer position). The movie tries to make up for that, by showing the past of our main character, which sort of is trying to make the decision relating to the viewer.

Of course Samuel L. Jackson does not care, what the character is or if some would consider the script weak. His performance is top notch once again. Just him picking up a glass of water and sipping from it, is a delight to watch (especially considering the circumstances of that scene and how it came to be). While there is a lot of stuff going on, that you won't really like, the actors are the anchors here, reeling this one in, before it goes completely overboard ...

This film tells the story of a young district attorney in Boston whose life is turned upside down after knocking a man over on the street with his car. He faces moral dilemmas, strange circumstances and much danger.

The plot is quick paced and suspenseful, and the tone of the film changes several times as the circumstances around Mitch changes. I quite like these twists and turns as it maintains the thrill and urgency throughout the film. His moral dilemma is also well depicted. Dominic Cooper does a good job in portraying the law enforcer who is in various difficult situations. I liked "Reasonable Doubt".
