Game Night

— This is in theaters at a time when not much of interest seems to be hitting mainstream venues. It’s a decent cast for a dark comedy/mystery, but it could have been darker and quirkier. The premise is good but it seemed to lack just a enough punch to make it really good. Although worth seeing, I wish there’d been more emphasis on the characters instead of focusing so much on plot turns and twists—it would have been nice to follow up on the glimpses we got into things like aging, marriage, sibling rivalry, divorce, and life values.
