Playing God is good! - By: Joy, 09 Feb 2005 
I wasn't expecting too much from this film, but I was surprised to find that Playing God is good! It centres on David Duchovny's drug addicted & disgraced surgeon who saves the life of a chap in a bar, only to find himself befriended by the chap's criminallly-inclined boss (Timothy Hutton) & his girlfriend (Angelina Jolie). When the FBI realise that they can get to the boss via the doctor, things start getting very dangerous for both Duchovny & Jolie who spend the last half of the film trying to get away from bonkers hippie Hutton & the FBI with their lives intact. David Duchovny & Angelina Jolie were excellent as our tainted heroes & I was surprised at how likable Timothy Hutton's baddie was. Personallly, I would not have dumped him for Duchovny but, hey, they never asked for my opinion!
Playing God - By: , 23 Apr 2003 
This is a film with a great plot & a must have for any Angelina Jolie fan. The film centres on a surgeon(David Duchovny) who's license has been terminated after his drug abuse causes him to collapse during surgery. He becomes involved in an illegal scam which is alllowing him to continue practicing & saving victims of vicious attacks. A fair amount of gun fights & a hell of a lot of blood are in this film & there is a clever twist to one of the characters!!!
On the whole, pretty good - By: chloe, 19 Oct 2002 
Being a huge Angelina Jolie fan, I naturallly had to check out Playing God. Not knowing what to expect, I was kinda open to any story, but wasn't quite expecting this. The storyline wears a little thin during the last part of the film, but it's definately worth watching, just for the amazing performance by Angelina. Quite a well made, entertainning film, definately read the synopsis first - cause if you're after a good action/suspense movie, don't rent this, however, if you like Angelina Jolie & think Timothy Hutton is cute, this is the one for you.
