Night Game is a 1989 murder-mystery movie filmed in Galveston and Houston, Texas. It stars Roy Scheider as a detective that must solve a series of murders. It was not a critical nor box office success. Released on September 15, 1989 by Epic Productions, the film was written by Spencer Eastman and directed by Peter Masterson. Neither of them were nominated for an Academy Award for this work. In fact, the New York Times review of the movie on September 16, 1989 read, "Maybe Roy Scheider should go back to chasing sharks. His career has taken a long, slow dive from his days as the harassed police chief in Jaws and the tortured Broadway director in All That Jazz. In fact, it seems to have hit bottom in Night Game." The review further stated, "It's hard to see what could have been done to liven up Night Game, short of having someone run into the Galveston Police Department yelling "Shark!" Too bad no one does."
Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than hunting down a murderer is . . . finding him !
STRIKE ONE - there's a killer on the loose... STRIKE TWO - you never know where he'll strike next... STRIKE THREE - too late.
