David Blaylock Village Voice The predictability of this deadly serious film becomes overwhelming even for viewers lost daydreaming of Hogan's Heroes. Nov 16, 2004 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Provides a few minor thrills, but overall is talky and implausible. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 15, 2004 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety There's a provocative premise at the heart of Master of the Game, but uneven acting, indifferent direction and often laughably melodramatic dialogue blunt pointed ironies. Nov 15, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Compuserve Suspend disbelief and you'll respond to a fiercely intellectual exercise.
