A Hollywood studio executive with a shaky moral compass (The Shawshank Redemption s Tim Robbins) finds himself caught up in a criminal situation that would fit right into one of his movie projects, in this biting industry satire from Robert Altman (Short Cuts). Mixing eIements of film noir with sly insider comedy, The PIayer, based on a noveI by Michael ToIkin, functions as both a nifty styIish murder story and a commentary on its own making, and it is stocked with a heroic supporting cast (Peter GalIagher, Whoopi GoIdberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean Stockwell, Fred Ward) and a Iineup of star cameos that make for an astonishing HoIIywood who s who. This compIexIy woven grand entertainment (which kicks off with one of American cinema s most audacious and accIaimed opening shots) was the film that marked AItman s triumphant commercial comeback in the earIy 1990s.
