It's not underrated at all, it was a huge success.

I remember liking it alot when I saw it. I did have some critiques though. For instance, what if he hadn't jumped off in the right place. If I was him afterwards, I would have been pisses for those kind of chances being taken. I also would've been upset that I was that perfectly predictable.

It was great! Just watched it couple days ago on Netflix, glad it was on there

Good film, bad ending

There is a newer copycat movie but its awful I dont remember what its called but its like zoomer version of this movie Basically some kids get invited by mrbeast and then get fake murdered in a european crime dungeon

I think he actually died and him surviving is just his perception of the afterlife and his brothers death being apart of the game

@@benmj8814 right my head was fucked enough mate, go away.

@@steventhomson2400 can i join?

I only watched this and it is one of the greatest of all time

The ending ruined the movie for me. It would have been perfect if they cut right after he jumped off the building and died. Then they could have played back the old footage of him discovering his father’s suicide when he was a child. The End.

We need this shit for guys like Musk and Bezos to save mankind

Nah they're beyond saving

mindblown

Agreed also Black Rain is a classic.

Anymore movies similar that you recommend me?

@JonnyKay-co4xc Just finished watching it. I thought you recommended me the movie bc it was similar to the game. Nonetheless falling down was a good movie! thanks

@@Oi325yes

The ego is nobody's friend.

Another good example was when lex luthor obtained the powers of Superman. With the powers of a God he is suddenly able to comprehend things beyond human understanding and he basically has a existential crisis to the point where it breaks his spirit and he admits defeat, something he would never do before.

defo and the best thing is the director only let us know as much of the plot as Michael. We didn't see thing unfold and was always on the edge of our seat.

It was a game to teach him a lesson aswell to not be an asshole

No he was being gangstalked and the only way out was suicide. This is really going on today without people's consent. Hollywood actors are Satanist headed to the lake of fire. How and why the hell would they come up with a movie like this in 1997😂😂. They are of there father the devil. All this stuff is in the bible.

What I liked about this film was the part where he was stranded in Mexico.

Well, You obviously didn't watch it to the end, based on that assumption of yours... The old man reveals by the end, the game was actually supposed to end with him PUSHING, Nicholas off the roof... Not himself jumping off of it.

@@yourworldsavingsdotcomyour5552wrong. He was only going to push Nick if he decided NOT to jump off the building.

​@@jobcarando7715this is it

so why did that pistol didnt kill his brother?

Yaroslav You know what a blank bullet is?

Yokai i guess he doesn't

Guys if the blank bullet is a blank bullet why it breaks the bottle sean penn is holding?

Special effects, just like his body squib wound. For crying out loud..the whole movie is special effects. Pay attention. :)

I think, They're all ready for that. If he jumped on the other side there's a safety measures as well.

@@NhelDgaming yeah the actors were keeping an eye on him, if he went to any of the other sides of the roof to jump they would have grabbed him in time.

it's stated by one of the actors "if you walked to the wrong edge, I would have to throw off the right side."

​@@RealGateGuardianno that's not what is stated. The guy says he would have had to push him off the roof had he not jumped.

@@tonypaella I believe you, it's been a while since I've seen the movie. Could have swore he was to throw him off the correct side.

Serbian Guardian I can only assume that is true.

Wow You explain it perfectly

Spot-on, baby Pikachu Pet!

God dayum, its been 2 years since i said this? Wat da hek...

@@sava-aleksej3548 haha

I agree

Agreed!

Agree

100%

Or maybe because Rey was snooping around a secret society like the Freemasons, he didn't realize that they too were studying him and gave him the screenplay treatment.

Why was that message on the shirt? What does that mean?

@@carolinaurena7338 una epifanía

@@clasiguapo me siento como una ignorante, pero pudieras explicarlo mejor?

@@carolinaurena7338 perdón... es un renacer a una nueva vida, y la playera "narra" de una manera sencilla todo lo que le pasó a Nicholas...

@@clasiguapo gracias!!!

then again this IS a David Fincher film. he also made Fight Club and that film is a huge mind f**k

@@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly Aw that's good cinema right there. Hit the spot.

Unless.. you truly experienced an “ego death” like Nicholas at the end. I need all your information, plus answers to personal questions… and millions of dollars

Michael Douglas in ...Falling Down (Again)

I always thought the same about that when he fell through the glass

If you look closely at 2:43, there's a sign that says "if you're going to commit suicide, do it over here and aim for the break away glass section". So they clearly had all of their bases covered.

Nicholas Van Orton was an overbearing asshole. The point of the Game was to change him. His brother Conrad didn't want him to become like their father so gave him the gift of the game as a way to change Nicholas's ways.

X marks the spot, Dude.

What person would want to continue living knowing they killed their own family. There's a reason why they say that's one you don't come back from.

Ya thats what makes the movie so unrealistic. Who would do that to someone? Lol. Great movie though considering.

I think you are entirely missing the point, here. Nicholas had become a lonely shell of a man. Only being somewhat personable with his housekeeper. He completely dismisses his ex-wife when she calls to wish him a happy birthday. He is convinced his brother is a junkie only looking for handouts when they meet. He has lost the meaning of life. The "Game" leads him through a journey where he believes he has lost his wealth; his brother; and his will to live. ONLY AFTER living/walking/breathing this journey can he realize the importance of his real life. That he is loved. That he was taking for granted the things which are important to him.

Yeah, both those movie do an excellent job at keeping ones attention and interest. Not a dull or unnecessary moment in either I’d say. You must have ADD like me. Haha

It was real, just filled with blanks with Conrad using squibs for the wounds.

If it wasn't real, why does Conrad have an exit wound on his back?

@@Dwarkle special effects

@@Gerbravery But why? Nick won't see Conrad's back. And even if he rolled Connie over, there's no reason to have an exit wound, not like Nick would say "Hey, no exit wound, what the hell is going on". The gun and bullet were real. He shot his brother. He jumped 20 floors through glass and died. There's no other rational way to view it.

@@Dwarkle idk it’s something hard to explain but it’s definitely cannot that is was all special effects. The assumption that he died and is dreaming all of this is more of a theory most people have on shows and movies.

I remember being in tears at the theatre during this scene. I remember being really mad at conrad though..b/c jeeez what a hell of a way to make a point. Glad Nicholas understood why he'd been put through all that. I dont know if I'd have been able to be as diplomatic.

Me too😂

This game you play only once.

Agree.

@Alex Naaaa. But I have to admit that rereading what I wrote 7 years ago I sounded pretty arrogant. I know a lot less now. I guess I've gotten stupider. Lol. I don't even know what I meant by homofobico. I really hope that is a typo rather than some stupid comment or obscure reference.

@@Bropann I don't know you but the fact that you can admit that something you said in the past was wrong or arrogant shows how much you have evolved over the years. I think that makes you smarter now than you were back then :)

@Cabra Marcado Yep. I can't see. I can't hear. I can't walk. But I can still type random arcane messages in this keyboard thingy. : )

This movie was dumb,all that for a surprise birthday...Unnecessary.

*bonk*

😱😂

I always thought that too.

Or he jumped off the other side of the building

Those beams are probably fake too

They had a backup plan for that too.

They used breakaway glass so it doesn't really matter, assuming he didn't get any in his eyes. If he used the gun, there were only blanks and they'd probably have to go to plan B and push him over the ledge.

dont think he would end up his life by gun. His father's death, the clown at the beginning already implant the idea of jumping off to end his own life.

@@ctyetta1 It's funny, because I literally rewatched this movie three days ago and realised the exact same thing. I suppose through their analysis they worked out that he'd try to take his own life the same way his father did. Still, he might have deliberately dove head first to ensure the death.

Rezwan Chowdhury Just saw that too, that’s why I’m here

That brought me here

I think he was obsessed with movies

I am legit creeped out watching this. This roof looks so identical to the roof in Rey Rivera’s case.

But why would he kill himself? Did he think a safety balloon would be there to cushion his fall? and he went through the ceiling not glass. I'm pretty sure someone killed hin

Damn sweety your still alive tho?

I’m sure there were inflatables around the full perimeter, no? 💰

It's called Hollywood. Movie magic. Your job is to just believe it no questions asked.

Honestly I would have probably jumped too if I had accidently killed my own brother or any other person I loved... it was a logical possibility, knowing that his father has commited suicide and that Nicholas was in a bad period even before that. If he didn't jumped they probably had another plan. The company is shown to be an all mighty organisation, a mastermind of the human psychology, able to predict their client's move, like if people want to complain you can invalidate the whole movie because such a compagny is impossible, and would probably be illegal in the real life. The ending would have been bad if it had changed the message of the whole movie, but here it just sublimize it. Nicholas took everything he had for granted and was frankly arrogant and cold, and it took him to loose everything to realize what he had, and then when everything is given back to him he finally shows love and gratitude for it. That's what the movie is about

Such a Debbie Downer.

it's a movie. Duh

It’s not supposed to be realistic idiot. Your main goal is to explain the plot, the story, and the lesson of said story. You don’t have to shoot for realism half of the time or you’ll have no story to tell

@@suda_lifts So you're saying that anything goes? If an angel had swooped down to save him that would be okay? The movie set itself up to be somewwhat plausible, and at the end came up with a ridiculously unlikely event to conclude it.

@@stephenwodz7593 yes I would enjoy seeing him being rescued by a angel and fighting god with a ak47 while being lit on fire. Shit would be lit no cap

@@suda_lifts You're being facetitious but you need a certain level of realism to make the premise feel credible. And the ending fumbled it. Cope and seethe.

They wouldn't let him.

Saša Marković How exactly? They were on the other part of the roof. He was already on the edge. How exactly would they avoid that? This whole movie Is a continuous plot hole. What if he decided to Jump from the other side of the building? What if he didnt manage to return to the US? What if he hadn't asked for christine's address? Why are there bullet holes on the car if they are not real bullets? What if he hadn't shot his brother, understanding that this is the game? What if he bought a real gun, instead of using the one in his house? It seems that CRS is composed by clairvoyants, not actors. So many scenes that could have happened in a different way, resulting in a possible death for someone.

He wouldnt have. The hours of testing and expert genius samples they collected allowed them to predict every move he made. Thats a big part of the movie and the answer to many "what if he" questions

Back then I thougt the same thing 😅

@@AroundSun what if he hadn't take the test seriously?

Right, what if he jumped at the corner angle and hit the ledge instead of the glass?

they predicted every thing thanks to the psychological tests and the info they got from Conrad. It's so fucked up and mindblowing

Whatch it again! There are fences at the sides....

If they did Psychological testing prior, it's very likely they could have predicted his every move given the Psych Assessment. That's what Psychologists do, HOF'er, study human behavior. We judge you by your actions and therefore can predict your actions based on past behavior, until you prove differently.

@@DIVISIONINCISION Behaviour can change under different circumstances. You can’t analyse someone’s behaviour in a calm environment, and predict their actions in a highly stressful situation based on the results
