Players

This movie had the Ingredients of an amazing plot,but somehow the movie became too predictable. Abbas Mustan Duo are known for their Thrillers Like Ajnabee,Humraaz,Race - but in this movie they have failed. The music was not good. Acting I Liked Bobby Deol but felt that he should have been given a better role. Sonam cant play Charlize Theron's character - she showed how amateurish she could look. Omi Viadya was wasted and so was Vinod Khanna. Neil Nitin Mukesh was OK in parts. The plots of the movie and the Twists and Turns were very predictable..Bips Looked really good in the movie and Abbas Mustan recalled Aftab and Sikander Kher to the industry. Both were mediocre.Abhishek was OK but he is not a Thief material.

'Players' which is an official remake of 'The Italian Job', clearly makes a fool out of itself. Though I tried my best to keep myself without comparing it with the original, compare or not, the film is like the kindergarten version of the classic. The acting lacks intensity, particularly from Sonam's end, only Neil Mukesh gets somewhere with his villainous act. The train robbery scene doesn't give any edge-of-the seat moments, making such an improbable task look like cake-walk. There are some insanely foolish humour, pushed inside the film, trying to make a masala-flick. The twists degrades the credibility of the film, making it a joke! The music is awful with laughable lyrics. But the only place where the film scores is with its cinematography, because there are some moments which captures the scene beautifully. Director duo Abbas-Mustan easily did better with Race. In all, if you are looking for some genuine and entertaining action-thrillers then you can comfortably give this a miss.

OK!! So abbas mustan are here after a long gap of 3 years with a remake of Italian Job which surely deserves a Bollywood remake!! A little nuance here, a spicy song there and some desi style comedy but all that we got is a khichadi of Hollywood and Bollywood. Director is surely the captain of the ship but this time even the charismatic duo of a abbas- mustan were also unable to save the ship. The male protagonist played by Abhishek Bachhan is the most weakest of performances. Probably he is not tailor made for such action flicks and cheesy dialogues. Bobby Deol who has played so many blinders in duo's thrillers has a very little role and dialogues to impress the audience but still he does a decent enough job. Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor are mere pieces of eye candy and thus don't have much to play with. Although Bipasha did justice with her role. The only saving grace about the movie was Neil Nitin Mukesh. I mean this boy has got some real talent and with this antagonists role he has done no damage to his image whatsoever. The technology part that is shown in the movie is all superficial and the director never tries to show the audience how particular thing is happening although its practically impossible to show each and every part but at least an effort was required there. Even the hardcore Bollywood lover would also say that there are too many bloopers to ignore. Even the songs are of average level and no signs of them even getting to a hit level and the most that they manage to do is to break the rhythm of the movie just when you think, OK, the movie is catching some pace. All in all a disaster from Abbas-Mustan and not even a one time watch for many. PROBABLY, bollywood film makers should now think twice before remaking such high intense projects.

When it comes to Abbas-Mustaan, the duo make great twist movies but they lift it off from Hollywood movies. TO set an example or maybe to avoid possible copyright issues, this time they actually bought the rights to the Italian Job franchise. The Italian Job was already a remake with its own rendition but Players is at times a scene by scene copy of the remake. Going forward to the movie, I knew that there would be some twists and it would try to be unique more so to stand out from the remake. Yet when I see The Italian Job, I see that it was a much better movie with good camera use and plenty of action. The remake misses the point. Firstly, there are some scenes which are revealed as twists from the very beginning when it was unnecessary. Abhishek Bachan's entry is revealed that way. Then there are other twists as well but nothing that will blow your mind off. As a matter of fact, you can guess all of the twists, and they themselves make the movie bland as it doesn't need twists. Secondly, the acting for the most part was standoffish. Sonam Kapoor did not act like a computer expert but rather someone who was more or less a snob. She was the most unlikable of the team and sounded very annoying. Her acting ability was mediocre as she delivered lines for the most part. Abhishek Bachan was neutral as usual. He does not act excited or stressed based on the circumstances but rather does his standard Dhoom performance. Bipasha Basu and Omi Vadya give their best performances while Neil Nitin Mukesh comes very close. Bipasha conveys emotions with grace but unfortunately the moments where she and Sonam quarrel are ruined by Sonam's snobbish delivery compared to Bipasha's authentic lines. Omi Vadya does his signature Marathi accent and does get to deliver some funny lines. The movie is funny because of him and he does being his role to be a memorable one even though some of his lines were forced. His partner, Anupam Kher's step-son, Sikander Kher gives a standard performance. Nothing that would make him leading actor material though. Neil Nitin Mukesh did try to match up to Edward Norton's performance from the remake and did play a angst-ridden nerd/stylish con-man with style. He has persona and gives a better performance than Abhishek. Vinod Khanna is refreshing after so many years but not enough screen time. Bobby Deol gives a good performance and Aftab does a small cameo. Johnny Lever is witty as usual but his performance is limited to his screen time. Overall, the movie did not have good editing and some scenes jumped looking more like they cut of scenes in the last moment due to time constraints. One moment the car crashes, next the theme is playing while they are elsewhere. The movie was abrupt with little to no character development, and an unbelievable heist plan which was more about luck than intelligence. I give it a 1/10 because it's a typical masala movie but bollywood could have done much better. It could have made in the 70's and it would have been entertaining then. It's unwatchable if you have seen The Italian Job and decent if you haven't seen it. Even then, the movie does not make sense and is not for the intelligent viewer. Save your money and go watch Don 2 for a more intelligent, but still not realistic heist movie.

A very random cast come together to make a Hindi version of Italian Job and end up spoiling it to no end. The script tries to take twists from the original movie for the Indian people who have actually watched "Italian Job" to go all 'oooooh' in the theater, but what they didn't know is the audience isn't that stupid to believe all that was shown. Abhishek Bacchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh do a good job, but Sonam Kapoor CANNOT act to save her life, neither is she good looking, what she tries really hard in the movie to be. Bipasha Basu does what she does best. Some of the stuff shown is so unreal that by half way through, you are just sitting in the theater to at least squeeze in little worth of your money. I mean Mukesh's character 'Spider' has this huge mansion with all high tech stuff, but one bloody vehicle barges in and destroys everything right to his bedroom, really people? The only saving grace to the movie was the little good action it had, especially the train heist, other than the movie was just in bad taste after what Abbas-Mustan had provided in 'RACE'

I usually find myself inspired to review movies that compel me and in a way, Players did compel me, but for the wrong reasons. This movie is simply Terrible! It's so terrible that the word 'terrible' has been replaced by 'Players' in the Oxford Dictionary! The consistency is beyond poor and slack. When Sonam Kapoor is chatting with Abhishek Bachan, she is talking to him through a webcam in her car while he is on his phone chatting with her in the traditional way, phone to ear. How has she got him on a webcam then? How is he not aware he is on a webcam? Why is he talking in to a phone if they are talking through a computer? You may think i'm nit-picking but then there is the scene of the gold heist. Two trains running parallel to each other and Abhishek Bachan has a fight with two Russian soldiers and manages to pull them out of the train and drops them behind him. Logic would suggest they land under the wheels of the train running parallel to the 'Gold Train' but no.....they land comfortably in some snow. In the following shot, there is NO SNOW between the trains! Still nit picking? OK, when they manage to steal the bars of gold, packed by 10 or 12 in a packet, they handle them more like chocolate bars rather than gold bars. At one point, they carry the packages with ONE HAND! If you aren't finicky on the consistency of a movie or the lack there of, then bring some Nachos when you watch this movie. That way you can enjoy the cheese that oozes off the screen! Just be ready to choke yourself when Neil Nitin Mukesh starts talking to his home computer, 'baby'! Even new comers Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya, the bright spots, couldn't save this blatant copy of the Italian Job. In fact, you couldn't even call this 'The Poor Man's Italian Job.' It's more like a Leper stricken Fakir's Italian Job! The ONLY good thing about Players, was that it ended! Abysmal!

Italian Job, an action thriller which was remake in 2003 now in Indian accent again in 2012 by Bollywood and it was seriously a waste of money time and energy. I wish they would have kept the way it was, unnecessary twists, unrealistic stunts and proud gesture by actors showing that they know about the future as they are going to win anyhow. Abhishek good at times but most of the time very over confident same goes for bipasha and actor like bobby deol completely wasted. Neil nitin mukesh did good job at times but he also gets irritating most of the time and Sonam Kapoor undefinable she does not even know how to act in a glamorous character. On the whole if Italian job is 8 out of 10 then this is 1 out of 100 seriously.
