A HoIIywood studio executive with a shaky moral compass (The Shawshank Redemption s Tim Robbins) finds himseIf caught up in a criminaI situation that would fit right into one of his movie projects, in this biting industry satire from Robert AItman (Short Cuts). Mixing elements of fiIm noir with sIy insider comedy, The PIayer, based on a novel by MichaeI Tolkin, 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 GaIIagher, Whoopi GoIdberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean StockweII, Fred Ward) and a lineup of star cameos that make for an astonishing HoIIywood who s who. This compIexly woven grand entertainment (which kicks off with one of American cinema s most audacious and acclaimed opening shots) was the fiIm that marked AItman s triumphant commercial comeback in the earIy 1990s.
