There's a lot of screaming and carrying on (this is, remember, a movie containing Russian gangsters), but there's a curious absence of weight to the performances. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Jarring and unpleasantly woozy.
San Francisco Examiner
Apr 29, 2003
Rating: 3/4 -- This may not be a great movie, but for both Duchovny and Hutton, it's a turning point. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- The degree to which Playing God simply doesn't work is, quite frankly, astonishing... Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- If you watch closely, you can spot the exact moment that David Duchovny's career ended.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- David Duchovny is absolutely charming in a movie that combines medicine and crime and ultimately wears out its welcome by being too cute and repetitive with its throwaway humor. Full Review

...[Duchovny] does a fine (if understated) job....A satisfactory evening's rental...

Product Description:

Drug-addled former surgeon Eugene Sands, languishing on skid row, attracts the attention of an underworld kingpin after performing impromptu surgery on a gunshot victim with bartender's utensils. Thereafter, Sands unwillingly becomes the kingpin's emergency medic of choice and soon finds himself over his head--and dangerously in love with the big boss' beautiful girlfriend.
