Playing God's crime drama is a noir genre movie full of mystery and intrigue. The story follows Eugene Sands, a retired physician who is drawn into a crime doctor's life, but soon finds he's gone too far. David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton, Angelina Jolie, and Peter Stormare put together a solid cast and perform well. Hutton delivers the dark comedy particularly well and creates a charismatic and enjoyable villain. The instructions, however, are poor and damage the movie to some degree. Playing God is a flawed movie, but it still delivers a thriller that is convincing and entertaining.
