Reindeer Games by Stephen Farber Ehren Kruger, who wrote Arlington Road, definitely has a flair for twist-filled narratives, because his ingenious suspense thriller, Reindeer Games, about an ex-con who wants to go clean has a knockout of a surprise ending even neater than the one in The Sixth Sense. Unlike Arlington Road, Kruger's new caper is played lightheartedly, which is a good thing, considering that the wild plotting doesn't really hold up to serious scrutiny. Director John Frankenheimer keeps the picture racing along, and Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron make appealing partners in crime. What did you think of this movie? Sound off in the Movie Forum.
