MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

captaintorvin My very favorite thing about this movie was how a bunch of the central characters were apparently supposed to be college students, but they were all in their thirties. They kept on trying to act young. The fat guy was stereotypically obnoxious, and the female lead's sex drive was clearly well-in-place for the age, and they were all playing some trendy new game on the internet, yet their physical appearances made them woefully ill-suited for the parts they played.I especially liked the one main dude with his backwards cap who was always riding his bike around and such.So believably youthful!

whpratt1 This film was on sale in Wal-Mart and I decided that for the price it was worth purchasing. As soon as the film began, I knew right from the start that I was going to enjoy this type of film. Dennis Hopper(Vincent Swan),"20th & Wolf",'05, played a retired detective who had some experience with a past serial killer whom he had killed. Vincent is called back to Los Angeles where the crime had taken place years ago and tried to assist the police department with this Cold Case. Stephanie Zimbalist,(Francis Aldobrandi),"Malpractice",'01, is assigned to Vincent Swan to work on the case together. There is an appearance of Sandra Locke,(Adele Highsmith),"Clean & Narrow",'99, who gives a great supporting role and it was great to see her acting without her ex live in bow, Clint Eastwood. If you like a mystery story from 1999, this is not a bad film to view.

loueva I saw the DVD version of this mystery/thriller. I must say that Dennis Hopper and Stefanie Zimbalist are highlights of the movie but it kind of ends with their performances. Hopper shows he can act with his face and develop the unsaid script. Zimbalist is a revelation as she portrays an aging, slightly dumpy vice cop who has about had it. Remembering her TV work I gained respect for her acting and personal strength in avoiding face lifts et al. The movie is a bit formula although it has its moments. I cannot determine if the director feels the audience remembers "Psycho" or has forgotten it, but there are references. Many scenes are too long and others, especially the finale and tie in explanations, too short. People who like the serial killer genre with game playing and shock effects will probably like it. It is nice to see Michael Dorn without his Star Trek makeup but his part is much too small. How much mystery can there be when you are almost through the movie and Sandra Locke has not shown up yet? The DVD is full screen, sharp, but a little grainy on my system and DTS sound is an option. Overall a disappointment but Hopper and Zimbalist are worth every penny of rental money.

MacrosTB Dennis Hopper plays Vincent Swann, a retired detective with a personal vendetta, to perfection in this movie. As the retired detective whose daughter was killed by a mass murderer, when the tell-tale killings start again, he starts to wonder if he got the right man. Famous people are randomly murdered and body parts taken. The players of the Prophet's Game decide who lives or dies.Although the movie is a little slow, there is enough intrigue to keep you hanging on to the last minute. The movie is directed very well, with a good supporting cast. (Michael Dorn's distinctive voice is used to good effect as the Police Commissioner.)As the players start disappearing, and Vincent is taunted, the winner of the Prophet's Game is always the Prophet...
