Plot
Summary: After being imprisoned for six
years on a grand theft auto charge, Rudy Duncan (Ben
Affleck) and his cellmate Nick (James Frain) are finally
going to be paroled. After hearing endless stories
during his incarceration of Nick's romantic correspondence
to a woman named Ashley he has never met (Charlize
Theron), Rudy is looking forward to returning to his
family and having a fresh cup of hot chocolate. When
Nick is killed during a prison riot, Rudy decides
to assume Nick's identity upon release from prison
and meet up with the unknown woman. Burdened with
a base knowledge of Nick's Indian casino employment
past, Rudy finds himself in too deep with Ashley's
brother Gabriel (Gary Sinise) and is violently forced
to cooperate with a casino robbery that Gabriel and
his gang have been planning with Nick in mind.
Comments:
I
know many people crap on this movie, but I find it
to be very good. I do not like movies for nudity,
violence, or swearing. I watch them for the story
and acting. Do not get me wrong, I WOULD take an action
movie any day. But the fact is I don't sit through
silly movies to see that. Reindeer Games starts off
with a great setting in a prison. I recall seeing
the ending, and it was so powerful I HAD to see it
again. Some would call it corny, but you know. This
movie gives the viewers a hell of a ride. Ben's best
role, and my favorite Frankenheimer movie. Solid.
