    I like Wesley Snipes and would like nothing better than to see him succeed on a big hit network TV show but I can't get past the premise which is so monumentally stupid that it ruins whatever comes after. Sorry Wes, I'll catch your next vehicle.

    This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous! This show is really ridiculous!

    It is also poorly written and entirely unbelievable.

    @ BogKid: Is this you idea of a review? Writing 20 times the same sentence? I mean, seriously. If you dont have to say more than that, than dont write a review!

    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.

    The action sequences are cool. Unbelievable, but cool. Fast forward through the rest of this drivel and just watch those, if you must.

    Everything on the screen has been played out, ad nauseam, in other series--we’ve seen dozens of brooding-hero-with-a-dead-wife narratives and omniscient-organization-secretly-saving-the-world backdrops in the past few years alone, but it’s entirely possible that none of those other shows have left as bland a taste in the mouth as this one.
