Reviews
Despite a talented cast led by David Duchovny, 'Playing God' fails to deliver a compelling narrative, leaving viewers with a sense of emptiness and unfulfilled potential. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a low 16% rating, with critics criticizing its lackluster script and inconsistent pacing. The IMDb rating of 5.6/10 reflects a mixed reception, with some praising Duchovny's performance but lamenting the film's overall execution. While the movie offers moments of tension and suspense, it ultimately falls short of making a lasting impact. Critics suggest that 'Playing God' struggles to find its identity, wavering between a crime thriller and character drama without fully committing to either.
