I watched Players last night. My review.
I watched the movie last night.
It was okay, but I felt it was probably half an hour too long.
Storywise its pretty much exactly like The Italian Job with some indian touches and some extra twists that weren't in the movie.
Abhishek was well...Abhishek. As much as I like him offscreen, he really needs to work on his act onscreen. He pretty much had the same expression throughout the movie and at times it was diffficult to decipher his expressions. I much prefer him in comedy roles.
Sonam is so pretty, but its such a shame that she really is an average actress. There was a scene in the movie where she tells the gang that she would meet Nitins character cos he was the only one who didnt know her, and as much as I dont want to sound horrible, she was pretty bad in that scene. These sort of roles really dont suit her.
As for the rest, I cant believe Bobby Deol did that role. He really didnt have anything much to do or say in the movie. Bipasha was quite good in her glamorous role, Om Vaidi did make you chuckle once or twice and I think Nitin was quite good too. I wasnt sure how he would play the role of the baddie, but he was pretty decent.
Songs were completely unmemorable and repetitive. And I dont know why Abbas Mustan feel they need to include totally unnecessry scenes with Johnny Lever in every movie of theirs which are just so unfunny!
Overall its an average fare and a one time watch only. Like I said before, the movie should have ended 30 mins before it actually did.
SPOILER ALERT
The way they escaped with the gold from the mafia at the end was ridiculous! I mean Gold cars! Really!
