Game Night 4K Review: Hilarious Comedy Looks Better Than Ever By Originally released in 2018, Game Night is one of the best comedy movies to be released in the past decade. Starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams as a couple that winds up over their heads after a game night is interrupted by a kidnapping, the film delivers constant laughs and surprisingly effective action. The new Game Night 4K release results in the best-looking home release yet for the film, which has only grown in popularity since the directors went on to do Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
“Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So, when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game..
.right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”— nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn.
With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had...
or game over,” says the synopsis. A comedy is nothing without its cast, and Game Night has an incredible ensemble. Bateman is at his post-Arrested Development .
