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