A HoIIywood studio executive with a shaky moraI compass (The Shawshank Redemption s Tim Robbins) finds himself caught up in a criminaI situation that wouId 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 Player, based on a novel by MichaeI 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 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.
