Review of Players

Players (2024)
4/10
Predicted the ending from the trailer
15 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
To be honest I only watched this to see if my gut feeling from the trailer was right, and it was.

The "twist" at the end has been done so many times, and in much better ways, leaving this film watchable, but ultimately forgettable.

The 'play' premise and the fact they've been working people for over a decade makes the characters appear shallow and flaky, so it's hard to root for Mack in her quest to get serious.

It's billed as a comedy but I didn't laugh once.

While none of the cast were awful, they just weren't overly likeable characters. Joel Courtney seems stuck in the little brother category. Tom Ellis however, gave a solid performance and elevated any scene he was in.
