Question: Was any of the movie shot on film? IMDb has Arri and RED digital cameras listed, but there are couple scenes (especially early on) that seem to have noticeable graininess that looks much more like traditional film grain than the digital "noise" you sometimes get in modern movies.
Game Night (2018)
2 questions
Directed by: John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Jesse Plemons, Chelsea Peretti
Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle tease Ryan about "needing the validation of Instagram models, " watch closely. In between shots, Kevin and Michelle are instantly looking in different directions and doing different things. (Ex. Between shots, Kevin goes from facing Ryan to facing down, and Michelle goes from holding her own drink to pouring a different drink for Kevin).
Trivia: In the scene where Max and Annie talk about their potential future child, there's a throwaway line about child-actors not amounting to much later in life - a bit of an inside joke, as Max is played by Jason Bateman, the rare child-actor whose career actually improved after he became an adult.
Answer: Brooks was kidnapped by Gary's fake kidnappers. Everything to do with his kidnapping was set up by Gary. Gary did it to make people realise he'd be fun at their game night. However, Brooks was in league with the actual criminals and assumed they were responsible, which is where the mix-up happens. Eventually, the real criminals show up in the third act. Basically, it's two separate storylines that converge at the end through a comedy of errors.
