10 Mind-Bending Thrillers That Will Melt Your Brain

9. The Game

David Fincher's The Game is a tricky, twist film that certainly keeps you guessing if nothing else.

Wealthy investment banker Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) lives a lonely life, and on his 48th birthday, is given a present by his brother Conrad (Sean Penn), a "game" in which "players" are pushed to their physical and psychological limit as they come to believe that their life is in danger. Though Van Orton is seemingly rejected for The Game, this is just a trick, and soon enough he finds his worldly possessions being taken away, as well as people trying to take him down.

At the end of the movie, Nicholas appears to commit suicide, leaping from a roof and crashing through some glass, though he in fact ends up crashing through breakaway glass and landing on a giant airbag, as it's revealed that all of the gunplay was part of The Game, while his brother Conrad was in on it the whole time in order to get Nicholas to enjoy his life and not become suicidal like their dad.

At the end of the movie, Nicholas appears to have done just that.
