Welcome to the Game is a slick mystery/thriller that leans heavily on a lush presentation and some fun twists (not unlike Fincher's similarly titled 90s classic). It's a simple genre flick with limited ambitions, but the execution is near-perfect. The performances are solid, the villain is great, the cinematography is bliss and the finale is a blast. The final scene in particular is one of the best I've seen in a while. I doubt this film will have any international exposure, but if you have the chance to watch it, don't miss out.
