Review of The Player (1992) by Jim T — 11 May 2009
"Can we talk about something other than Hollywood for once? We're educated people.".
I get the joke, but that line shows, for a moment, that even Griffin Mill is bored with the film. Beneath all the "wink-wink nudge-nudge" dialogue about the movie business lies an hour of unengaging scenes with people standing around in suits. More playing with self-reflexivity and less inside jokes about Hollywood, please.
Also Tim Robbins is terribly miscast. Guy is simply not a lead.
