The Player has the feel of one of those high-octane action thrillers that Hollywood pumps out--you get caught up in the moment, but the intricacies of the plot dissolve the second you step out of the theater.
"The Player" has the potential to be enjoyable even if the premise seems like a high-risk, low-reward gamble.
For its combination of silliness revved up to a furious pace, The Player is, as I said at the start, watchable--the kind of visual junk food that you find yourself consuming for an hour before you realize 60 minutes have passed.
Without a steady spray of sawdust coming from Snipes’ direction, there’s too much time to focus on the show’s loony premise and unspeakable morals.
The action sequences are cool. Unbelievable, but cool. Fast forward through the rest of this drivel and just watch those, if you must.
A new action series from NBC with a ludicrous plot full of unlikable characters played by not particularly likable actors.
In short, they're plotting to turn the world into an episode of Starsky and Hutch.
