His Spidey Sense wasn ' t all that was tingling that day . <| sep |> I think his best movie is The Game . Put away your pitchforks ! Hear me out . This movie was way ahead of it ' s time . Pre ' 08 crash , preEnron , pre 911 , etc . It was made in the twilight of the Clinton years when corporate America was flying high . Large scale American corporatocracy and corruption were still mostly hidden from the public and not really in the zeitgeist yet . It ' s essentially the story of what it would take to make a narcissistic selfabsorbed berCapitalist into someone that doesn ' t feed off of the rest of society . There was plenty of sly humor in the film , Michael Douglas was great in it , it was beautifully shot par for the course in a Fincher film , and it was a good paranoid thriller as well but it was also a warning about the kind of people that were running the country and the near impossibility of getting them to ever act outside of their own self interest .
