Yes, to me that's one of the most compelling fears in film noir and the psychological thriller genre - that fear of conspiracy.

Just because you've had one or two of those games, you can't really go back to the next practice and change everything. That's the most important thing in those situations that you don't think too much, you don't try to change too much because then you're going to be in deep trouble, that's what I think.
