Players movie review: what critics say (13)
What critics say Critics are divided: 1 of 13 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 6 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the performances, the script and the action.
‘Players comes off as a dismal first for Abbas-Mustan, with a flat script, flatter action scenes, and the flattest bunch of actors, all milling about in one film.Youd think with a ready tried-and-tested template, and…
Players, the official remake of Hollywoods heist flick The Italian Job (itself a remake of a British caper film of the same name) is no frame-by-frame copy.

Read the full reviewA few players intend to share the loot, given the plan or plot (borrowed from Hollywood) is already in place. That's the story of this film. It could be the related stories PLAYERS PROMO EVENT: Sonam raises middle finger!
The names Abbas-Mustan evoke images of racy thrillers with twists-n-turns, dashing heroes, sexy femme fatales and good music. Their movies may lack logic at times but they rarely lack in entertainment.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
