    too complex

    Playmaker doesn't make sense to me. At first you thought `Ross' was some master but actually was a fake. I missed the point of the movie, or is there one? The ending - so Jamie Harris got away with murder ?

    An Honest Review

    I guess, to be honest, I'm giving this 10 of 10 stars just because I like films like this and, when it came out when I was 14 I really loved those moody independent mysteries that really wanted to buck for film noir and mostly never achieved it.

    And now as an adult, I still like them, but with the refined taste of preferring the ones that were actually done right... or at least the ones that hit the troupes with a bit of success.

    Looking at it through a critical eye, however, the plot doesn't stand up to analysis. If you are the kind of critical couch coach you're going to be yelling at the television and facepalming more than a few times... but that's kind of part of the charm of films like this. The ones that are done well keep it to a minimum, but even then the "WTF were they thinking!" moments are a source of entertainment themselves.

    And it has Jennifer Rubin, who does decent jobs and should have had bigger roles in her career. In this case she does a fine job of balancing naive and stupid enough to not turn to the camera and yell at the writers because of the above mentioned moments, and still comes across as someone that can solve the mystery.

    And it's the "Mystery" again, that is keeping this from being a truly good film. It's that dark sort of total suspension of disbelief, if you don't just shrug and go with it you'll be irritated to no end kind of mystery.

    Because, honestly, outside of that the acting is pretty stellar, Firth and Rubin both nail their roles, the film is moody enough to fit the genre, it's got that 90s indie Hollywoodphile vibe that everyone loves... but it just does it with a lot that makes you want to strangle the writer and situations that will leave a nice large red mark on you forehead.

    Honestly though, despite all of that, it actually manages to entertain. You won't be bored watching it, this is a film you can still enjoy and, at the end of the day, that is the only reason to make a movie. That is the one goal that all films should place above all objectives.

    Oh so close to making the play

    This one works if you can suspend your disbelief just a wee bit more than you'd normally allow. The reward is a twisty ride through smoke and mirrors, stopping along the way to ask some pretty hefty questions.

    Jamie is an aspiring actress who is long on ambition but short in the confidence department. Out of desperation, she hooks up with a brilliant but eccentric acting coach. He teaches her that nothing is what it seems, but what she really learns is that if you're good enough at deception, you can get away with murder. However, the real lesson here is that success achieved by becoming more ruthless than your enemies makes you the enemy.

    Because your sympathy is with Jamie at all times, you are encouraged to believe that she is forced to take this position by people more evil than herself. This is a highly suspicious concept, I think. But it is an interesting idea and fairly well presented in a funhouse structure with enough surprises to keep you intrigued.

    Seriously not good.

    I am a Colin Firth fan and will watch anything he's in. He is the sole redeeming part of this film. He plays two characters in effect and plays them well, despite the abysmally inept script and direction. Everything about this film is seriously bad and very cheap looking. Spending a little more on clothing and props would definitely have been worth it. The lead actress, playing an aspiring starlet, is dressed like a preschool teacher and an important prop--the necklace--looks ugly and cheap. Jennifer Rubin does a good job as the "agent" at the end of the movie, but her performance as the actress during the teaching scenes with Colin Firth is very bad, although Ms. Rubin has done good work in other films. This is a recommend to fill in your Colin Firth inventory, but once is enough, and he's the only actor worth watching.

    Daft movie, sexy Colin Firth

    If it wasn't for Colin Firth, the movie would be ready for the dust bin! So foreseable, so silly and so badly acted!! Only Colin Firth, as always, shines through this mess as single light on the end of the tunnel!!

    The worst was Jennifer Rubin's acting, for sure! Maybe it was because of this script (did they actually have really written one or was it just made up "on the way"???).

    To cut a tooo long story short:

    It is a MUST SEE only for Colin Firth Fanatics (like me) since he is incredibly sexy and good acting (struggling hard against this "mentally challenged" script). These minutes of Colin-Screen-Time make up a lot of this movie.

    Don't spend too much money on it, though. Try to see or get it as cheap as possible (an auction or something like that) and then do stick to the Colin Firth scenes.

    The rest of the movie might be dangerous for anyones mental health.

    • Trivia
      The producer (Peter Samuelson) saw two people standing on a corner holding a sign "looking for money for movie". Their story was used as a basic for the screenplay.
    • Errores
      While Jamie is at the table eating, Ross picks up a camera and takes several shots in a few seconds. The flash unit he is using is a Vivitar 283, which generally takes around 3 1/2 seconds to recycle after each shot.
