THE PLAYER (1992)

Adapted by Michael Tolkin from his eponymous novel, the script is part suspense/satire, part troubling look into the mind of an overworked producer, as a young studio exec becomes the chief suspect in a murder investigation. The story has as much to say about the sordid dealings of the film industry as it does about a man's crime and punishment guilt. Tolkin pulls a major coup in making this callous protagonist not only sympathetic, but almost heroic. He cleverly plays into the audience's innate desire for the criminal to get away with a crime spurred primarily by an unnerving career insecurity. And the extraordinary cast, an assemblage of which may never be seen again, only adds to the unique tone and feel of the screenplay.
