A slick, smart, funny, and menacing thriller from cinematic master Robert Altman, The Player is easily one of the greatest films about filmmaking ever made and one of the best films of the 1990s. Long-time Vidiots customer and screen legend Tim Robbins plays a Hollywood big wig teetering on the edge of losing his power, his freedom, and his sanity as an obsessive screenwriter sends him threatening postcards and a dashing rival vies for his position.  After a little mischief, murder, back-stabbing, and seduction, will he end up in prison or with his happily ever after? A must-see for anyone in the industry – The Player is the perfect satire of Hollywood as well as a compelling and masterful thriller.
