And who better to show the monstrous dimensions of male control than Stephen King?  Mike Flanagan adapts King\u2019s novel to construct a tale that\u2019s perhaps too theatrical for the movie (most of the action takes place inside a single room), but given top performances by Carla Gugino as the \u201ccontrolled and confined\u201d woman and Bruce Greenwood as the all-powerful controlling force, \u201cGerald\u2019s Game\u201d is a contest that\u2019s worth your playing time.<\/p>\n<p>In the well-paced, mostly slow-moving story, Jessie Burlingame (Carla Gugino) and her rich husband Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) head for the summer home in Maine, intent on spicing up their marriage.  Gerald\u2019s game starts out simple enough: he handcuffs her to the bed and refuses to honor her protests,  keeping her chained as a physical manifestation of their unequal bond.  When he drop dead of a heart attack after taking Viagra, she is stuck.  Unable to release the handcuffs and threatened by a stray dog that first works on Gerald\u2019s body before considering a move on Jessie, she lets her imagination take hold, remembering\u2014as Joan Baez might say \u201cdidn\u2019t I tell you?\u201d\u2014an event that began when she was thirteen (played by Chiara Aurelia) and molested by her father, Tom (Henry Thomas).  Soon enough she begins to talk to herself, a fleshed-out image of her, commenting like a Greek chorus on her plight.<\/p>\n<p>Though King\u2019s novel takes place entirely within a room and positions Gerald as a schlemiel who resents his trophy wife, here the man is a hunk in the form of Bruce Greenwood, who paces around with a pair of clinging undershorts as though expected to have sex with her without stripping.  While Jessie struggles to free herself, the hallucinatory image of her husband talks calmly, giving the viewer a picture of empathy.  But Gerald is no pal, goading her with descriptions of how she will die of dehydration, while her own image tells her that \u201cyou and Gerald will be together, inside the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carla\u2019s confrontation after escaping is with an actual monster (Carel Struycken), an effect that\u2019s like a bludgeon after the more sophisticated encounters that she has experienced.  All in all, a restrained look at the kind of horror to which Stephen King is accustomed, leaving behind the immature ravings and bloodshed of a monster for the more subtle and nuanced story.  If you\u2019re a fella and go to this movie with a date, be prepared to hide under the theater seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.  103 minutes.  \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<br \/>\nComments, readers?
