Cruel Game

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2002 Filmcritic.com

The truly cruel game is having to sit through this movie, in which an L.A. playboy (Adam Baratta) juggles up to four different women while claiming to truly love one of them, a Japanese girl (Jennifer Tung) who may or may not be in it for the green card.

After an hour of ridiculous love scenes with the likes of adult-magazine starlets Victoria Silvstedt and Carrie Stevens, we are thrown into an even more ridiculous stolen-$1-million/who's-scamming-who? story. By working in three plot twists at the end to ensure that no one understands what exactly went down, writer/director Masahi Nagadoi unfortunately makes one even more major mistake, failing to realize that we have long since ceased to care.

It is difficult to imagine a worse movie.
