Storyline

Stripped of his medical license after performing an operation while high on amphetamines, famed LA surgeon Dr Eugene Sands abandons his former life only to find himself crossing paths with Raymond Blossom, an infamous counterfeiter. Employed as a "gun-shot doctor" when Raymond's associates cannot risk visiting a hospital, Eugene is lured deep into the criminal world and becomes entangled with his boss's girlfriend.

Just when the film starts to lag, Hutton and Duchovny throw in some lines to keep it gruesomely lighthearted.

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.

RTUSA TodayJan 1, 2000

A medical-underworld thriller that teaches the star of TV's The X-Files something about Z-grade theatrical pics.

The degree to which Playing God simply doesn't work is, quite frankly, astonishing...
