Game
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Waltzing wickedly between the incredible and the inevitable Game succeeds in sustaining our interest right till the devilish denouement at the end.
-
...is a decent watch. It's not a great watch.
-
...mess of a thriller.
-
The script with all its loose ends is the biggest weakness of Game. Tighter writing could have made this whodunit far more enjoyable.
-
Too many loose ends and unanswered questions coupled with characters that completely lack a growth chart reduces Game to a mediocre watch, with predictable twists and turns.
-
There's lot of strutting and style and high-tech sleuthing. But there isn't a story that makes sense.
-
The film has all style but no substance...
-
For its entire obsession with ambiance, Game is, at heart, a frustratingly old-fashioned murder mystery.
-
Debut director Abhinay Deo makes the film slick and stylish, but is lacking in rock-solid content.
-
Too much emphasis is made on the look and feel of the film, but the plot isn't exciting enough.
-
...it lacks the thrill.
-
...a rocky, unconvincing gamble for such a massive canvas. The culprit is a usual suspect: the screenplay.
-
...is all style, no substance.
-
Abhinay Deo, the king of the ad world, makes a tepid entry into the world of cinema. He gets bogged down with making each shot look pretty and perfect, the attention to the smallest details hinder rather than enhance the plot, and yet there are gaping holes in accuracy.
-
...high on style, but low on substance.
-
...pointless and lacklustre...
-
...the film is it's snail-paced speed. We keep waiting for the story to take flight, but unfortunately it struggles to get a decent take off.
-
...is a good Bollywood example of a bad Hollywood film : all slick surface, nothing underneath.
-
...a movie has to be much more than the sum of liquor-ad lighting, sharp clothes and tourism brochure locations.
-
...the director, manages the not-inconsiderable feat of making his movie a gigantic snooze, which wakes up briefly, very briefly, only towards the end, when the mystery is explained. Too little, too late.
-
...a very pretty 30-second advertising film stretched to two hours.
-
...one of the most predictable, stupid thrillers, strewn with absurd red herrings and idiotic clues.
-
...the film shoot off on so many directions, with so little purpose, that you give up keeping track after a while.
-
...part noir, part nonsense, packaged hollowness.
-
It's sluggish and I have quite a few nasty things to say about its 'style'.
