AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 2,727
Rating: 1/6 -- What little potential there is ends up squandered within nanoseconds; as both a parody and a polemic, the film is finished before it's barely begun.
Time Out
Oct 6, 2007
Finishing the Game serves up a kick-ass comedy about a dead martial arts star, starving actors and the Hollywood system.

Rating: C -- What exactly he's trying to say about Bruce Lee's fame and impact or the banal reality of genre moviemaking is unclear at best. Full Review
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Nov 15, 2007
Rating: 1.5/4 -- This tedious mockumentary isn't even as entertaining as one of Ed Wood's actual films, and once-promising director Justin Lin has some karma to square for fumbling such a sure thing. Full Review
Seattle Times
Nov 16, 2007
Rating: 1/4 -- The pace is flat, the celebrity cameos go nowhere, and the smugness of Lin's observations of Asian-Americans and Hollywood smothers the comedy.
Salt Lake Tribune

Rating: 2/4 -- Misses more comic targets than it hits.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

Rating: 1/5 -- Intermittently funny at best, but mostly full of dead air. Full Review
