The Game (1997)

This is a solid movie. An uptight wealthy investment banker (Michael Douglas) meets his brother (Sean Penn) at a restaurant on his birthday and is given a card with a number to call. The company says they have a game that will make your life more interesting and replace whatever is missing, but they won’t give any details about it. After completing the initial tests to qualify for the program, strange and dangerous things start to happen in his life and he tries to find out more about the company before he gets hurt.

Breakaway glass is a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and water, and has the appearance of glass for a limited time once hardened. Some of the locations used in the film included Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and the historic Filoli Mansion. The water scene was filmed in a large tank. There is a news clip in the movie and I wasn't sure if it was true or not. Legislators were discussing a plan to encourage small businesses to provide health insurance to their employees and key Republicans supported it, but Democrats didn’t.
