Review of The Player (1992) by John A — 11 Dec 2009
Fantastic satire from Altman and an extensive cast of characters all indicted by the film. The film manages to be both funny and soulless, lampooning its black-hearted characters with razor sharp wit. Robbins is fine in the lead, but it's the supporting players and side stories that portray a rich pastiche of oddball Hollywood life.
The numerous references to classic Hollywood tie the satire to all of movie history--it's always been this way, and it seems it always will.
