The Game

Posted to Drama, Thriller on December 28th, 2006 by Chad Everett

Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) lives a rather boring life. He has a monstrous house, and he comes home to it each night after he moves money around each day as an investment banker.

It appears that he’s done this for some time, running the family business since his father plunged to an early death by stepping off the roof of the family mansion (which seems to be the same one where Nicholas now lives).

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
