When I read the 3 reviews of this film - I was wondering whether I had viewed the same film as them.
I found it to be a riveting Psychological Thriller.
Maybe people found it hard to deal with because of its non-mainstream elements and its lack of type - casting In particular Sally Kellerman and Steven Lack are brilliant.
The intensity of the games increases through the film and reaches a horrifying and ironic crescendo at the finale.
Because of its non-mainstream element it has a surprising level of naturalness and to that effect I found that it realistically mimicked the normal reactions one would have expected from people.
John Cusack was an intriguing addition to the movie.
I have observed this type of game-playing socially and in that sense found the film totally believable - Possibly the crux of the film being when Kellerman waits for Lack to arrive when they are about to marry and when he doesn't show says 'He's not coming - he thinks it's a game!"
The film demonstrated succinctly that people who play these games confuse reality with the game.
What a pity that it was never released to DVD.
