Especially in the action genre. the use of single word names just plain WORKS ... have no idea what they were thinking. "Citizen Game" seems completely bizarre ... especially given the militaristic look of the film (which is gritty and great). Someone needs to rethink this name change!

Personally, I don't care what the name of the film is because Gerard Butler is in the lead. My thinking is that the name was changed because the original name "Game" was already used.

Why can't they leave well enuff alone? Brevity always trumps cutesy referential tweakings by the Hollyweird establishment. 'Game' sounds much more provocative and carries the punch inherent in big-budget action flicks. Get a clue! 'Citizen Game' – LAME! Why can't they leave well enuff alone?

How Hollywood of Neveldine & Taylor. They're all they're cracked down to be.

I was happy with "Game" but. . . whatever. Several have seen it as a reference to "Citizen Kane,which revolutionized how films were technically filmed, in its day. Since they're quite proud of their new camera technology, I wonder if they feel this film will be as revolutionary and inspiring? Anyway, I want to see it no matter what they call it. Good luck to them! No matter what its name, somebody will complain it should be something else. I was happy with "Game" but. . . whatever.
