Playing God | Year: 1997 Directed: - Andy Wilson Actors/Actresses: - David Duchovny - Timothy Hutton Weak Script.Good Acting I only give Playing God 3 stars just because the acting is good,it's the only thing good about the movie.Very weak scirpt and bad editing.And when it came out I was so looking forward to seeing it because I love both David Duchovny and Angelina Jolie and I was really disappointed.Well we all know Angelina has come along way since this and Hackers and David should stick to more stuff like Return To Me.Overall,Playing God is worth to rent,but not to buy. Excellent Acting In Playing God Playing God is only for certain people. Time needs to be invested in this movie in order to appreciate what it has to offer. The plot is what makes the movie a little iffy as far as the enjoyment level goes. It wasn't that well made and needs to be watched for other reasons instead. The acting is what saved it. Timothy Hutton and Angelina Jolie are absolutely excellent as the loving and then bickering criminal couple and are what make this movie worth seeing and owning. David Duchovny's performance is all right but not as good as his supporting cast. The antics of the characters are great and make it worth the time wading through all the other stuff to see. If you buy the movie, buy it for them, not for anything else. Hilarious Farce I thought I was going to hate PLAYING GOD, but it's so ridiculous it's endearing. I hadn't laughed so hard in a while. This is one preposterous giggle-fest from start to finish, but at least the makers knew that. Completely ludicrous situations develop that the characters encounter with hilarious aplomb. Duchovny's character could do a heart transplant on a Cadillac's hood if only you gave him a spork and bungee cord. Duchovny's absurd narration overdubs alone are priceless. Cliches are satirized mercilessly. One scene, where he's riding an elevator, has Duchovny internally opining about what it's like to be a surgeon. Try and make out his bizarre analogy between surgery and flying an F-14. It doesn't make a lick of sense, of course, but the whole thing is hilarious. Timothy Hutton -I think that's his name- plays the perfect comic badguy. The supposed gang war at the heart of this thing is totally absurdly dumb, but it makes for some great dialogue. Boris the Bulgarian was brilliant, all of his lines seemed to be delivered in mid-guffaw. Angelina Jolie seems to be the only one who's actually trying to convincingly act, but we can forgive her for that particular oversight. From script to acting to action, this movie is a plain ol' goofball fest from start to finish. Highly enjoyable.
