"This action movie set in San Francisco, California is outstanding. I made the mistake of starting to watch this movie about an hour before I planned to retire to bed. Big mistake! I couldn't stop watching this until the movie ended. My eyes 👀 were glued to the television 📺 screen a half an hour into the movie. After I finished the movie, I had a hard time calming down. This plot had me on the edge of my seat,🪑and is the reason some movies should be seen at the movie theater, if possible. The plot starts at a summer, and builds to a feverish boil. The cast and the acting is great. This movie stars Michael Douglas and Sean Penn as brothers who couldn't be more different: one is a lonely and powerful cutthroat businessman, and the other is a lazy slacker layabout. They try to air their problems out as the story unfolds. All I can say about this movie is strap yourself in, and hang on for dear life, because it is going to be a bumpy ride!"

"It it wasn’t for Craig S. liking a review I possibly never would have seen this movie. I really enjoyed the movie just starting to get crazier and crazier. Then the ending just made for a perfect conclusion to it all. This is probably my favorite concept for a movie so far. Mainly because it’s not too ridiculous compared to others. Loved the main character. I also really liked how the game was literally everywhere and it wasn’t really a gimmick or anything like that. There’s a lot more I can say but I’ll leave it at that. Perfect movie honestly. A favorite for sure."
