The drama plays out across four nights this week and builds to the kind of histrionic end you’d expect, with some creepy moments along the way.
-
Doesn't reach the same heights as the genre-defining psychological thrillers that inspired it, The Game is still a lively diversion with solid entertainment value, an excellent cast, heartily on-the-nose clichés, and moments of unsettling tension.
-
While we’re unsure if the twists and turns in The Game are going to be good or stupid, we’re still interested in how Huw is able to hold onto his family while playing this cat-and-mouse game with Patrick.
-
The Game does not hit the tense heights of his best 5 project, last year’s Coma, but it’s a perfectly serviceable mystery that spotlights Watkins’s unparalleled ability to play the snowballing anxiety of men in over their heads.
