Remaking a cult is a tough job.Italian Job is one of the finest films of hollywood. Can Abbas-Mustan do justice to the original ? can they deliver another racy thriller like 'Race' ? lets find out. Players has an interesting story but it is very difficult to make it look convincing onscreen and that's where the film falters. the screenplay fails to do justice to an interesting and gripping story.sure Players has its moments but the overall product is just not satisfying.In the first half some scenes excite you but the others don't.the train robbery is shoddily executed and looks unreal for the most of the part.the pre-interval twist is good. while the first half is quite average,the second half gets on to a thrilling mode. there are several twists and turns to keep the viewer hooked.the climax seems bit too long but makes a good impact nonetheless.dialogues are good. action is a mainstay of the film.it surely keeps you on the edge of the seat. music is decent.cinematography is first-rate.the locales are captured beautifully.direction by Abbas Mustan is strictly average.they have given us brilliant thrillers in the past and one surely expects the same from the players but the audience is disappointed this time ! coming to the performances, Abhishek Bachchan is decent.he looks dull in some of the scenes, his performance could have been better.Sonam Kapoor disappoints. she needs to brush up her acting skills.Neil Nitin Mukesh is Good.though he goes over the top in some scenes, overall his performance is decent.Bobby Deol is wasted.Omi Vaidya is funny in some scenes but hams in other scenes. Sikander Kher is alright ! Bipasha Basu is good.she gives in a natural performance.she also looks ethereal.Johnny lever is the real scene stealer. Vinod Khanna is okay.Aftab shivdasani and Shweta bharadwaj are there just for a scene.overall, PLAYERS is exciting in parts only,not in totality.One surely expected much much more !

Players,The first biggie of 2012 has arrived with humongous expectations not only because of its fantastic promotion and publicity ,but also because it being a remake of the hollywood classic 'Italian Job'.Abbas Mustan have always delivered fresh and engaging thrillers.does Players add to that list ? the answer is a bit yes and a bit no.Players has an interesting and engaging story about a heist performed by a con group.however the screenplay does not fully justify the otherwise interesting story.the first hour has its share of good and unexciting moments.the train robbery however is shoddily written and looks unreal in most of the parts.the second half has quite twists and surprises as one expects from an Abbas- Mustan thriller.but the climax leaves a lot to be desired.the length of the movie goes for a toss in the second hour .its unnecessarily stretched.some scenes do excite you but they are few and far between.the film bears a rich look throughout.camera work is excellent, the locales mesmerize your eyes.action is quite good but does not match the standards of 'Italian Job'.the car chase in the climax is fairly done.music is good.direction by Abbas Mustan is fair but a lot more is expected from the duo.coming to performances,players has various characters but only few manage to impress you.Abhishek Bachchan does a fair job.Bobby Deol is wasted.he is quite okay in his scenes.Neil Nitin Mukesh does quite well however he goes over the top in some scenes, he is quite good.Sonam Kapoor seriously need to work more on her acting skills.she surely disappoints.Bipasha Basu handles her job quite well.she also looks ethereal.Sikander Kher is plain average.Omi Vaidya manages few laughs. Vinod Khanna is alright.Johnny Lever is superb .Aftab Shivdasani is okay. Shweta Bharadwaj is just there for one scene.Overall, PLAYERS has some exciting and many unexciting portions.It entertains you partly but one surely expected much more.

What a waste of good money- both for the producer making absolute rubbish shot all over the world and for us having to go through the torture of sitting through such rubbish. Its a pity we cant even copy Italian job decently.... how hard is it to make a copy. Abbas -Mastan need to keep up with the times and no dole out half baked rubbish to the Indian audience. Surely, a little more depth can be put into the movie. What a sheer waste of talented actors( Sonam definitely does not count in this list- she really needs help on all quarters), beautiful venues and a great original story.

Players is the first film of 2012 so i decided to go in the film with low expectations for several reasons. Abheshik Bachchan was great just like his preformance in Dum Maro Dum he never ceased to amaze me. Bobby Deol was great however his character could've been developed more. Omi and Jonny Lever were hillarious. Sonam Kapoor was perfect. Vinod Khanna is fantastic. Bipasha was okay. Neil Nitin Mukesh is awesome. everyone else is great.

Actaully I watched Players today and I liked it. I hav been daily visitor of indiafm.com since last 8 years and knw lot abt bollywood. I dont agree with 2and half stars rating of Players review. I agree i dont like Abhisekh but the movie was gud enough to get atleast 3 stars.I hav seen lots of senseless movies getting 4 stars just becoz of big stars cast on them or some other reasons but now I am doubting the review and rating process of bollywood movies.
