This action packed drama is well worth watching. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next and how it was going to end.
"Playing God" centers around a disgraced and decertified surgeon who gets involved with the criminal underworld, and the gorgeous girlfriend of a big time gangster. To make matters worse, the surgeon is a drug addict with a predilection for opiates which he obtains illegally. Soon, the defrocked surgeon is performing illegal surgeries at the behest of the head gangster. Even though the gangster pays handsomely for the medical services, the surgeon's resulting personal tolls soon outweigh any financial rewards.
Unable to get his life in order, things never seem to go right for the poor doctor who has an uncanny penchant for finding himself in difficult situations. Though, toward the end of the movie, he does have an opportunity to put his life back on the right track. The question, however, does he take this opportunity, or does he dig himself into a deeper hole? To find out the answer, you'll have to watch this excellent suspense drama.
Just as a personal note, I highly recommend this film to anyone over the age of 17 years who enjoys watching a superb crime drama with lots of action. |
