Game Night

Game Night (2018) is a crime comedy with a mystery twist you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, it stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams.

Max and Annie are a competitive couple who live for their weekly game night — trivia, charades, board games with the same circle of friends. Then Max's slick brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) blows into town and hosts a murder-mystery party staged with hired actors playing thugs and federal agents. Someone is supposed to get "kidnapped." So when armed men crash through the door and drag Brooks off, the players cheer the performance and only realize far too late that the abduction is real. The night spirals: the prop guns fire, the fake blood is actual blood, and the creepy cop next door (Jesse Plemons) is scarier than any of the criminals.

Daley and Goldstein keep the farce moving while shooting the chases like a real thriller, including a single-take sequence that passes a Fabergé egg from hand to hand across a mansion. Want a comedy that keeps pulling the rug out? Stream Game Night (2018) online on iFILM.
