It did leave me thinking for a while about the process behind the game itself and how the people would pull it off, but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Had the ending been written so that it flowed more with much more believability while still reaching the same conclusion of what the game turned out to be, then I would be much more satisfied with the film. But since everything apart from the ending earned my applause, I'll give it a 6/10.
