"Yes, it's a Game." --- No! No Game!

Now, any film with a reference to a game right in the dialogue makes me squirm with hate. I've never liked movies where the killer comes out at the beginning with "oh, this is a game by the way, hope you don't care, haha". Movies like that aren't really thrilling, and most of the time, if they're categorized as a thriller, they're filled with blood, over-dramatic music, and a secret that the viewer knows, but no one else in the movie does because they're oblivious or retarded.

'Pathology' is an interesting little thriller. On the one hand it tries (and fails) to deliver a sense of morality to its precedings, a la 'Saw', but it just doesn't have that movie's depth or characters that you really care about. On the other hand, it does kill (!) 90 minutes and deliver a satisfactory ending.
The plot (or lack of) centres around brilliant graduate student Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia), a beacon of respectability and high moral values, who joins a team of fellow pathologists that have God-like egos. The main protagonist, Jake (Michael Weston), dares Ted to join 'The Game' - where the person being dared has to kill at random and the rest of the team have to use their skills to show how the deed was done. Will the seemingly incorruptableTed take up the challenge of …
