Anything With Ian McShane.......2007-05-18
I'm a rabid Ian McShane fan and I watch any and everything with him in it. As far as Nemesis Game is concerned, Ian is good, he looks great and I wish he had a bigger role. I don't care about anything else in regards to this movie---just Ian McShane.
Murky and Yet Boring.......2006-04-26
I'm with the reviewer who asked, "What did I just watch?" To which I might add, "And why did I keep watching it?" This murky thriller wannabe left me unmoved and a little bored. By the time of the ending to which so many people object, I was glad to have it over, however it ended. Ian McShane, the best thing in it, was capable as the police superintendent but could not make it interesting in the face of zombie-like performances from Adrian Paul and the female lead, whose name escapes me, and a bizantine plot played out almost entirely in what appeared to be incredibly dark subway stations and other dismal settings. It makes me yearn for the return of "Deadwood".
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?.......2004-09-18
Oozing in pretentious atmosphere; riddled with a nearly unfathomable plot; and acted with little intensity or credibility, NEMESIS GAME is an empty, meaningless thriller. Carly Pope (First to Die) plays a young girl whose mother was killed in an auto accident; Adrian Paul phones in a performance as a fellow game player with a repulsive tattoo; and Brendan Fehr sneaks in for a small but pivotal role as a spacy game player. Despite some of the clever riddles, the movie makes little if any sense, and the wonderful character actor Ian McShane is wasted in the role of Sara's father, a policeman.
An interesting premise but I hate movies where everything is so ambiguous, you get no payoff. If that's the "design" of life, we're in big trouble.
Good movie ruined by a bad ending.......2004-05-17
It beat my expectations I can say that much. Actually I thought it was really good while I was watching it, I was very interested in the story line and how it would end. BUT unfortunately they go ahead and ruin it with basically no ending. You are left with too many questions. It just leaves you hanging, which would be fine if they were planning on making a sequel, but we know thats not happening. So I have it at 3 stars, I took a star off because of the ending.
This Got Under my Skin..........2004-01-27
I Love Adrian Paul and I believe that he is beneath his acting ability in the choices he is making in the movie choices he is making. I have followed him since his fancy role as Highlander in the 90's ms. Pope is also a wonderful actress I have seen her work before on tv and in small parts in movies and think they should both reach higher, but they gave this movie the credability it needed and kept me on the edge of my seat. I searched every where to find out about this story since at the end they gave a record of everyones outcome I believed it was a TRUE story laugh if you like but desperate people do desperate things and I was obsessed with finding out if this story was true or not... needless to say I couldn't find anything to verify the story, but that is how much it got to me, and I know the abrutness annoyed alot of people, but that is what really got to me the most because that is life folks, things don't drag out till you get your happy ending all the time do they, the car hits a tree, the fire burns out of control, someone hits your cat. it's over. Period. And I think that is why we were all so shook up and left so mouth hanging open and stunned by the real life of it all. TY isn't supposed to give us that. It's supposed to give us an nice happy ending in about 30 min. and send us off feeling like we've just taken a valium and all is right with the world WAKE UP...Life Is Everywhere Even In the Idiot Box...

About the silliest thing ever.......2007-06-06
Somehow, they've taken all the idioms of the kung fu genre: the struggling students, the secret masters, the hidden rivalries, gang lords, and good triumphant in the end. Then, all that is grafted onto some kind of parlor game, as complex as bridge but played with elaborate dominoes.
The result is the perfect kung fu movie, minus the fights, choreography, scenery, sets, action, and plot, but with overacting to compensate.
But I mean that in a nice way - I think.

A must see for all MJ addicts.......2006-04-26
I watched the first one and it was hilarious. So of course I had to see the sequel. I must say the second one is a bit more down to earth and believable. Unlike the first one which took more after Kung Fu Hustle. If you play MJ or are related to someone who plays, you will love this movie. If you don't play or ever plan on playing, you might not think much of this movie. Most likely if you're reading this review, you are a fan. So go see this movie.
