The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 10 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
The Game's central question — is any of this real? — is total epistemological distrust. Dragon Tattoo's is specific investigative distrust. The lead says total distrust outperforms specific distrust when both are Fincher. The film where nothing is reliable wins over the one where one character is unreliable.
