The Player is a fine film and is very well made but in the end is missing something that I have trouble pin pointing, it is flawlessly written and the plot is one of the best in history, the performances are generally wonderful Tim Robbins in particular, and the film is well directed. Why do I have trouble liking most of it? That may be a mystery to me but lets try and figure it out.
The Plot: We meet a slimy movie producer named Griffin Mill. He is aparently being stalked by a writer he turned script away. Mill gets paranoid and jumpy but than finds the man who is doing it. He accidentally kills the man. The police think of him as the top possibility, he is falling in love with the writters girlfriend and the letters continue, but slightly differently.
The performances: Tim Robbins is flawless as Griffin Mill and all of the the performances are very good, I loved all the cameos.
The Direction:The direction is very good, but not flawless and could have been done better.
In all a very good film but not one to see more than once, than again I will watch it again to see if it gets better on a second viewing. |
