Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) is a small-time car thief about to be released from jail in time for Christmas. When his cellmate, Nick, is suddenly killed, Rudy decides to take on his identity in order to meet Nick's beautiful pen-pal girlfriend, Ashley (Charlize Theron). The couple has fun until her psychotic brother, Gabriel (Gary Sinise), shows up. Gabriel and his gang want to hold up a casino where Nick had once worked, and they blackmail Rudy/Nick into going along with the scheme. Rudy has to bluff his way through the crime, pretending to be Nick in order to avoid being killed while trying to sabotage the plans of the bad guys. Will Rudy be able to outsmart the bad guys, or will he end up facedown in the snow?
Double crosses abound in this frosty film noir action movie boasting a twisty script by writer Ehren Kruger (SCREAM 3, ARLINGTON ROAD) and assured direction by veteran John Frankenheimer (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, RONIN), plus a sneaky sense of humor and plenty of Christmas references. Theatrical release: February 5, 2000.
Shooting location: Prince George and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The film was originally scheduled for release in December 1999 but was pushed back to February 2000. After the move the title was briefly changed to DECEPTION out of fear that REINDEER GAMES was too closely related to Christmas.
The movie was filmed near Vancouver, British Columbia.
The soundtrack features Dean Martin singing "Let It Snow." Reindeer Games Reviews: "...Mr. Frankenheimer has an entertaining bent for swift, scary violence with 1960's cracks and reverbs on the soundtrack for an old school reference point....The vividness of the expert cast makes the movie feel lived-in..."
-- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times "...Affleck is a likeable lead..."
-- Neil Smith, Total Film "...Breathlessly paced..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...A knockout of a surprise ending....Frankenheimer keeps the picture racing along..."-- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life "...Frankenheimer is the siege engine that keeps the REINDEER action flying on all cylinders..."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Reindeer Games | List Price | $14.99 (You save $4.44) | | Studio | Buena Vista Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2000 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  8178  | | CD Universe Part number | 1579436 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | May 25, 2004 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | Strong violence, language and sexuality. | | Also Known As | Deception | | Running Time | 118 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen | | Movie Details | Color; Dolby Surround AC-3 Sound; Digital Sound; Stereo Sound; Director's Cut; Widescreen |
Reindeer Games Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Excellent mixture
I rate this movie as excellent, the Acting cast was perfect, the movie was a great mixture of suspense, comedy, and emotions, Gary Sinise shocked me as usual, regarding his character. I hope to see more of Gary and Ben Affleck together, WHAT A TEAM! The movie had no dull momemts.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Affleck Kills Again...
I enjoy Ben Affleck, he's always been a fun watch, this may not be the best film but is a gem none the less if you like fun popcorn flicks with Affleck as the star.

This affecting and surprisingly smart comedy focuses on Dylan Jameison, a 16-year-old who happens to have terminal cancer. Offered a wish by the nonprofit "United Wish Givers," Dylan chooses what no one is expecting (but, of course, every American male secretly desires): a weekend with sexy supermodel Nikki Sinclair (Sunny Mabrey).
