3/10
Ding Dong Diddley......

Warning: Spoilers
Dean Cain plays the greatest player of the titular game, which has overtaken soccer, baseball, and other sports as the sport of the world.

Wesley Snipes invented the game, and its clear he's the richest and most important character, as he executive produced this and is credited as special guest appearance.

There is some plot regarding Hawaii and a bloke with a silly tattoo, trying to overthrow something, so Cain decides the only way to sort this out is by having one big game, and the winner decides what happens to the loser.

Take The Running Man and a lot of Rollerball, the 2002 version, and you have this little movie, nothing amazing here, and no good acting, but it really needs to be seen just for Snipes awful Jamaican accent.

The plot is destroyed by poor narrative, and even though Cain proves he should be more recognised as a star, he cannot save this drivel.

It's clear it's a TV movie, as we are treated to the pauses that would cue a commercial, and the effects are the pits.

I really only saw this to hear Snipes say 'Ding Dong Diddly' , and expected nothing more.
