Sean Penn just took home a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for One Battle After Another (or he will, if he deigns to pick it up after being unable to, or simply choosing not to, attend the ceremony), which is a good excuse to look back at one of the most underrated movies in his long career. And, as a matter of fact, it happens to be one of the most underrated movies in the careers of everybody involved in it, including its director. The movie is the 1997 thriller The Game, which was seen as a massive early flop in the career of filmmaker David Fincher — despite the fact that it’s actually really awesome.
