Game Night (2018) was a lot of fun.


Watched this last week after hearing good things and this was really, really good. Great chemistry between the cast, particularly Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. Jesse Plemons in particular was a comedic standout. The cinematography as pretty cool, with several shots making the landscape appear to be a game board and the tracking shot during the hot potato with the egg. And it was extremely funny, especially:“How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?”“Man, glass tables are really acting weird today.”Annie waving the gun around and putting it in her mouth at one pointThe whole bullet removal sceneNot DenzelThe Harry Potter “Bulgarian and the egg” joke (mainly because I embarrassingly thought the exact same thing before Max said it.)The whole credits scene revealing the intricate planning (plus, Ryan being a Harvard graduate)Ryan slowly sliding $17 across the table“Yes! Oh no, he died!”And, going into the movie dark, I actually had no idea what was happening with the plot. The movie had me second-guessing myself several times, but when everything was revealed at the end, it didn’t feel contrived.Would definitely recommend! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2JLx24s
