Game Night (2018)
Movie
Released
Competitive friends will recognise the tiny status battles before the evening has even gone wrong. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams turn a murder-mystery party into a wonderfully straight-faced action farce, with Jesse Plemons making every social pause uncomfortable. The shifting line between game and danger gives the room something to guess at together, while the physical gags keep it buoyant.

About Game Night
Max and Annie's weekly game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's brother Brooks arranges a murder mystery party -- complete with fake thugs and federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it's all supposed to be part of the game. As the competitors set out to solve the case, they start to learn that neither the game nor Brooks are what they seem to be. The friends soon find themselves in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn over the course of one chaotic night.
