Reindeer Games

Reindeer Games (also released under the title Deception) is a 2000 American action thriller film directed by John Frankenheimer, written by Ehren Kruger, and starring Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise and Charlize Theron. The plot centers on an ex-convict (Affleck) who assumes his deceased cellmate's identity and becomes entangled in a heist targeting a casino in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Produced by Dimension Films and released theatrically by Miramax Films on February 25, 2000, the film received negative reviews from critics and emerged as a box-office bomb, grossing $32.2 million worldwide against a $42 million budget. This was Frankenheimer's final feature before his death in 2002.
