Very similar to Game Night which came out earlier this year, it's about a group of adults who still act a little like kids with their games, presently the game of Tag. This group has been playing an extended game of Tag for 30 years. One person has never been tagged so the group gets together to gang up on him.
Casting was almost like choosing sides in a real kid's game. In Game Night, we choose Jason Bateman for the nerdy leading man. In Tag, Ed Helms. For the wife/alpha female, Rachel McAdams in Game Night, Isla Fisher in Tag. For the straw stirring the drink, Kyle Chandler in Game Night, Jeremy Renner in Tag.
Interesting cinematography, reminiscent of Scott Pilgrim versus the The World and Baby Driver both by Edgar Wright (and both kind of game playing plots as well).
And the mystery of who will win the game keep it interesting.
