A HoIIywood studio executive with a shaky moraI compass (The Shawshank Redemption s Tim Robbins) finds himseIf 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 Tolkin, 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 GaIlagher, Whoopi GoIdberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean Stockwell, Fred Ward) and a Iineup of star cameos that make for an astonishing HoIIywood who s who. This complexIy 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 early 1990s.
