Review of Players

Players (2024)
7/10
Interesting movie wich i enjoyed.
25 February 2024
This movie was in a way predictable and simple in its premise, yet at the same time having originality and somehow being a bit of a throwback to raunchy movies (almost). Yeah its all of this.

So here we have this group of friends who are apparently in their 30s doing the "player" gig and empowering each other to "score" with dates. The funny twist is that the main character, the brain of the operation, is actually a woman.

That part i taught was pretty interesting, because why a woman wouldn't be into this style of dates too? She is clearly "part of the boys" in the movie and that made perfect sense with her interests yet obviously she is a very attractive woman wich can also showcase her feminity.

Beside that they have that bi male character wich ultimately lead to absolutely nowhere so its really more of a product of the penderverse if you know what i mean, but it was so in the background that it didn't bothered me at all. Guys or gals, his dating life ain't the focuss at all.

Tom Ellis wich we all adore as Lucifer Morningstar plays the object of the main character desire in the movie, but as with any romcoms, nothing is as simple as it look. I think he was fine in his role and maybe its just me being happy to see him again (because i didn't since Lucifer ended) but at the same time his character could litterally be Lucifer from the show in disguise pre-season 1 lol. It was very reminiscent character wise. Hopefully he does not get type casted too much and manage to have a good varied career.

Overall i had fun following the story as it unfolded. There was a few funny moments, some romance, the movie even at times gave me the vibes of those raunchy unpolitically correct movies i enjoyed so much despite the bi character.

I would give it a good 7 out of 10. Its a fun movie that try something while playing safe on some fronts, yet the cast was pretty charismatic both actors and characters so i had fun following them. Perfectly good as a streaming service movie.
