They each choose \u201cplayers\u201d and  gamble on which of the players would emerge the victor in the series of  twists and turns they call \u201cthe game\u201d.<br \/>\nThe movie set in Ghana, and is cut into two parts with different story lines though somewhat interwoven.<br \/>\nThe first part: Teddy Elbert (Majid Michel), one of the two sons of  his late father, a multimillionaire, plans to inherit his brothers half  of the policy insurance drawn up by their late father.<br \/>\nThe clause in the policy insurance provides that upon the death of  one of the sons, the surviving son shall claim the other\u2019s share of the  insurance which amounts to fifty million dollars. Teddy\u2019s brother Bill  Elbert (Johannes Maier) is a soft spoken young man who is the CEO of his  own company, thus already accruing wealth.<br \/>\nTo make sure his plans work, Teddy colludes with a beautiful girl  named Shennel (Yvonne Nelson), who leads a shady lifestyle and has a  criminal record to boot. The two get married and begin plotting on how  to kill Bill and inherit his money with Shennel getting her own cut of  course.<br \/>\nWhat ensues is a maze of deceit and cunning with each party trying to best the other.<br \/>\nThe second part: deals with Shennel\u2019s friend, Brandy (Yvonne Okoro), a  model and one of the players. Brandy is a practiced liar who in a spur  of ambition decides to start up her own modeling agency, and in a bid to  get more publicity, lies that she is engaged to the renowned business  tycoon, Ronny Lawson, whom she had never met.<br \/>\nMajid played a convincing \u201cbad guy\u201d role. He also had some really  \u201chot\u201d scenes in this movie. Just as Yvonne Nelson played the role of  femme fatale.<br \/>\nHowever,\u00a0 Nadia Acha Kang who played the role of Jackie, Bill Elberts  secretary in the movie, put on a less than stellar performance. The  movie gets one glued to the big screen as one didn\u2019t know what to expect  next.<br \/>\nThe special effects helped give it a more magnetic feel, one almost  felt one\u00a0 was watching some sort of \u201cspy movie\u201d when they were used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movie: The Game Story: Kwame Doadu Genre: Action\/Drama Screenplay\/Director : Frank Rajah Arase Prominent Actors: Majid Michel, John Dumelo, Yvonne Nelson Reviewer: Nwosu Odera The love of money, some say, is the beginning of all evil!
