Game Night, directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, wastes not a single second of dialogue, gives killer lines to every member of its all - star ensemble, delivers
genuinely tense action sequences, and even goes for broke with style.
Director Jonathan Liebesman background in horror films shines through in some
genuinely tense moments, and one or two of the
action sequences are well executed (a massive shoot - out on a freeway overpass is a particular highlight), but the potential of this movie is both wasted by a lack of general coherence, and then destroyed by dialogue that swings wildly from cheesy patriotic to unintentionally hilarious.
