Action Drama Mystery Thriller

7.8 / 10

Nicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone. In the year of his 48th birthday (the age his father committed suicide) his brother Conrad, who has gone long ago and surrendered to addictions of all kinds, suddenly returns and gives Nicholas a card giving him entry to unusual entertainment provided by something called Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Giving in to curiosity, Nicholas visits CRS and all kinds of weird and bad things start to happen to him.

If I buy it but I don't like it, can I get a full refund and compensation for the time spent on watching the film? - @Wednesday, July 18, 2018 3:52 PM

My Three Reasons: 1) Indeed, Douglas' unbelieavable performance 2) The impeccable visual storytelling (actually "a whole cinematic school" in each and every frame and editing strategy 3) The constant twist, not necessarily for the ending, but the entire experience - @Monday, March 6, 2017 3:58 PM

The most underrated Fincher's film. I keep watching it and every time, I get strangled in the 1st second with the credit and cry at the end. - @Friday, August 5, 2016 11:28 PM

My three reasons: 1) Michael Douglas' excellent performance. 2) The atmosphere, shaped by Fincher's direction, the great screenplay, and the score, which is my personal favourite from Howard Shore. 3) Being an adrenaline-thrill ride from start to finish. - @Saturday, December 13, 2014 11:57 PM

Love this movie, but Fincher's Zodiac needs to have a Criterion release! It's his masterpiece. - @Sunday, June 9, 2013 5:40 PM

1) David Fincher. 2) Interactive mystery. 3) Gordon Gekko gets beat up. - @Tuesday, April 30, 2013 4:48 AM

Amazing film. I don't know why people are at odds over this film. In my mind it's Fincher's best. Granted it's a little more understated then some of his bigger movies. But I really adore this movie. - @Sunday, September 23, 2012 6:00 AM

One of my favorite movies, and I'm apparently in a bit of a mix here, I know a lot of people that can't stand it, but I have no fucks to give; I can't wait for it to come out! - @Thursday, September 20, 2012 3:07 AM

Why this instead of Zodiac? Zodiac is Fincher's masterpiece. - @Wednesday, September 19, 2012 11:45 PM

Such a mediocre film. That "twist" only killed and buried it on top of that, sadly. Tried to like it but just couldn't for the life of me. Worst Criterion release in a long time - @Wednesday, September 19, 2012 10:39 PM
