Game Over, Man!

Game Over, Man! is an action-comedy film directed by Kyle Newacheck, released in 2018. The movie revolves around three friends - Joel (Adam DeVine), Martin (Blake Anderson), and Brooks (Gilligan), who are passionate about gaming. They live together, share an apartment in Los Angeles, and dream of launching their game development company, called "Power Play Entertainment." One day, they meet a mysterious, wealthy man named Tony Jenkins (Joe Lo Truglio) at a party. Not only is he a massive gaming fan, but he's also a successful businessman willing to invest a substantial amount in Power Play Entertainment. The trio's luck suddenly changes as they get a chance to showcase their game to Tony, who agrees to finance their company on the condition that they create a game that captures the essence of 1980s arcade culture. The stakes are high for Joel, Martin, and Brooks; a successful game can change their lives, while financial failure would mean the end of their aspirations. Tony's investment is contingent upon the completion of the game in a short span of time, with a guaranteed $50 million profit for the company once it's released. Tony invites the trio to his mansion to celebrate their agreement. However, their happiness is short-lived. As they celebrate late into the night, a group of terrorists, led by the cunning and ruthless, Tony's (Joe Lo Truglio) accomplice, Vince (Joel McHale) and his team, break into the mansion and take Tony hostage. The situation quickly spirals out of control as the friends are shocked to discover that Tony, their benefactor, has ties to the dark underbelly of the gaming industry, where his true intentions for investing in their company reveal themselves. However, it becomes apparent that he isn't the only one with a hidden agenda. The presence of the hostages, combined with the knowledge that their benefactor was being blackmailed into the deal, forces Joel, Martin, and Brooks to take action and save Tony. Without any clear direction on how to proceed, the trio turns to their gaming skills for an unlikely salvation. They use every trick in the book from their gaming adventures to escape various challenges that they come across on their mission. In an unexpected turn of events, they find themselves using a combination of cunning and gaming skills to take down Tony's accomplices. Game Over, Man! offers both action-packed sequences as well as some lighthearted humor, all while providing a commentary on the gaming industry and our current obsession with technology.
