First Time Watching THE GAME (1997) Movie Reaction & Commentary

[@MarkM430]

This is one of those movies that gets better and better each time you watch it. BUT, you can never watch it for the the 1st time again :)

[@RyanCarrington]

I need to keep a list of movies I want to rewatch for the first time again, just in case I ever suffer amnesia.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Who else is thinking they can't believe this movie is almost 30 years old?

[@StreetHierarchy]

I remember watching this with my dad back when it came out on dvd; maybe even vhs. I think we rented it from blockbuster video...

[@DJBell1986]

Great now I feel old.

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

The ceiling he fell through at the end is at the Palace Hotel in SF, have had brunch there often and show it off to visitors all the time!

[@robovike]

Great intro, and applicable. "I got this key out of the mouth of a wooden clown." This is what we say to strangers in elevators. It's just basic etiquette.

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

A 'Game' for the guy who thinks he can control everything! Classic!

[@catcherinthesky]

Always a pleasure MR.Carrington 🐞🐞

[@DPYROAXIS]

This film is in my 10 10, maybe top 5.

[@donkfail1]

The Game - Even the audience is getting played.

[@xrusted]

I LOVE this movie -- one of my all-time favorites!!! And also -- yep,, you're right -- The Bone Collector began with someone getting kidnapped by cab.

[@RyanCarrington]

Ahh yes, that's exactly it!

[@mostaley5049]

Great reaction man , i remember seeing this in theaters. I couldn’t wait for it to be released on dvd so I could watch it again. 👏👏

[@orangewarm1]

how do you define a good reaction?

[@turntsnaco824]

​@@orangewarm1 I'd say a good combination and balance of the reactor showing a genuine emotional response to what happens in the film, as well as insightful and/or thought-provoking commentary either directly about things in the film, or whatever it causes them to think about. Attentiveness is also nice; I'm know occasionally reactors will miss important details or dialogue - it happens - but seeing the effort to keep up and absorb things like he did in this video is enough for me to look past the occasional oversight.

[@carm3d]

I just noticed the police detective was the sarcastic construction worker in Falling Down.

[@Novaximus]

Thanks for another reaction!!! Been working hard on bring us some content. :)

[@ShreveportJoe]

Such an amazing film… a much under-recognized Fincher classic. It was the first film of his I saw and I watched all of his subsequent movies as they were released.

[@angelagraves865]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is another Fincher movie that's definitely worth the watch.

[@johnbratton4764]

Saw this when at theater, we just looked at each other and said the same 2 words = MIND FUCK

[@keywesttexmex1]

I haven’t seen this in a minute. It was fun watching it with you. What’s next? Wedding Crashers?

[@chocolate-teapot]

The first time I watched this film, I'd just eaten a batch of space cakes......

[@RyanCarrington]

Hahaha I bet that was fun 😅

[@GrisouIII]

23:03 « I am fully psychologically thrilled right now. » 😂 I will borrow that!

[@nadronnocojr]

It’s a one timer , but it’s been on my playlist for a long time, still enjoyable …thanks for sharing

[@paulklenknyc]

Fantastic reaction, great to see you so exited ! thank you

[@RyanCarrington]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching along 🤙

[@paulklenknyc]

@@RyanCarrington This has been a favorite for a long time. It was really enjoyable to watch you notice things and pick up on the odd things and then gradually get more and more vexed and bewildered. Fincher did a supreme job, as did his production design team and casting director. All these diverse and unique roles played by people you find so believable, you don't think of them as actors, and then they all show up together in the commissary lounging around... He didn't linger the shot too long, but we instantly recognize all of them at once. Think how hard that was to achieve. It says something about how very important good character actors are, and how talented they are.

[@MrLovegrove]

I watched this in the theater with my brother. I'd never seen a Fincher film before. We walked out of the theater afterwards, and neither of us spoke for maybe 5 minutes. Then he just looked at me and gave me a slow, twisted grin. I told him, "Don't you DARE!".

[@epicjuicebox]

This movie's one of those I wish I could watch again for the first time. Such a ride!

[@RyanCarrington]

All we can do now is live vicariously through reactions 😅

[@turntsnaco824]

Saw this recently for the first time myself, was such a cool experience, blew my mind as well. I wish I could watch it for the first time all over again. I really hope you're watching 12 Monkeys from your poll, it's a similar sort of psychological roller coaster that will have you second guessing everything.

[@centralgirl10]

I’m never this early. Yayyy

[@32Inked]

Lucky Number Slevin is another great thriller.

[@maximillianosaben]

Man, I can't even play Tiddlywinks.

[@mathilde1974]

enjoyed your reactions :)

[@RyanCarrington]

Thanks for watching 🤙

[@ratface324]

Seeee! I was blind and now I seeee! We told ya maaaaan! Mind fk or wot dude. Classick! Reminds me of how I was on line at the cinema having to watch Toy Story 1. I thought this is gonna be shite. I was blown away telling everyone to seeee it. Hehe. Did you see it? If not get on it maaaan. Cheers.

[@Novaximus]

It would bug me the hell out right now if during the middle of this reaction Ryan turned to the camera and said, "Novaximus, you haven't gotten your mail yet today. There could be something important in it. Or do you think this is some sort of game." and then just get's back to the reaction like nothing ever happened.

[@orangewarm1]

aint this a repeat?

[@StreetHierarchy]

Damn! How did they slide Spike Jonze past me?!

[@JacksonDiddles]

The Game is one of my favorite movies...right next to BUBBA HO-TEP! BUBBA HO-TEP! BUBBA HO-TEP! JUST DO IT!

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Shit dude.. how many videos of yours did they block!!! Outrageous copyright trolls.

[@garyclarke9685]

The major problem with this kind of thing happening in reality is sure the game organisers can cater for every scenario as seen in this movie & at the same time keep the public out of harms way but what they carnt possibly plan for is what the client is going to do. His or her actions & decisions are basically out of their control & that's where the game itself can become dangerous & unpredictable which is why this would never happen in realife well not at this level maybe at a more chilled & relaxed level but that's it

[@lodey]

Is it possible I watched this and liked this a few months ago and now it shows up on my feed as new from 3 hours ago but I have seen you react to this before and liked it - why/how does this happen?

[@benjiringe1120]

That would be hilarious if the Game was just - Scrabble. That's it.

[@steverice2324]

Not sure if you've seen it, but Panic Room is another great Fincher movie.

[@RyanCarrington]

I'll add it to the list 👊

[@pappihappi]

Fatal attraction 1987

[@sillyvance2202]

❤aahhhh hell yea..well played sir..

[@steve8510]

They don't make em like that anymore

[@HeidiCrimmins-nb5tx]

Aww nice 1 just in time just finished 12 hour shift fucking killing me man.B glad to ave a smoke a soak and nice cuppa. Hope all is well with u sugar.X

[@alexhaas9653]

Thanks for the reaction. A fantastic movie. I remember watching it in cinema back in the day. How tense I was during the last minutes. What an ending. Douglas is great as usual. But I'm not a fan of Penn usually. But he's really good in this one. Btw the intro here inspired the intro to the hit show "Succession" on HBO. At times an almost frame-to-frame copy.

[@gallendugall8913]

This movie is the one that had me constantly repeating, "That doesn't work like this." but then just setting that aside because it's a movie until the end where it was the lamest twist in film history - I was right all along!

[@alexisrivera202]

The people who think this is a clever movie are the same who think every clever or funny line in a movie was ad-libbed.

[@longfootbuddy]

🤨

[@spaceballone2301]

Any chance you can review I’m ganna get you sucka

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

The puppet in the thumbnail got my hopes up that it was F/X (1986). Then I saw it was just The Game. :(

[@fetakbuzna]

i dont like douglas as actor that much, but this movie and falling down r one of my fave movies

[@RyanCarrington]

Yeah, he's great in both!

[@fetakbuzna]

@@RyanCarrington funny thing is, i thought im typing to other reactors hahahaha.u know, 3 littres of wine.may i give u amazing movies to react to ?if u do, u will be 1st youtuber ever i subscribed to
