    Quiet release, big impact. Alan Tudyk shines in this performance as a downtrodden man plagued with loss and grief. He is truly the star of the show, despite the supporting status of the role. Without him, there is no plot. Tudyk is brilliant in character acting and it clearly shows. Now...for the rest of the cast, they're alright. None of the other characters are likable or redeemable in any way. The acting is alright, but nothing special. Its a decent movie night pick, but the real reason to watch is Tudyk.

    Full Analysis at SpotaMovie.com - Intro Playing God is an American production that lasts for one hour and thirty-five minutes. It touches delicate topics such as God, family, forgiveness, revenge and that desire for love that keep us alive. Scott Brignac, the director and writer, did an interesting job, but not perfect. Anyway, it’s a movie we suggest you watch because the story engages in all of the challenges around it. - The Story - Micah (Luke Benward) and Rachel (Hannah Kasulka) are decent thieves, but their lives changed forever when they picked the wrong target one day. They will have to deal with bad people to solve their issues. They need money and quickly. Micah comes with a “divine” plan when any hopes seem lost. They need to find God to discover their path to true salvation.Will they be able to succeed? What are they going to discover? And are you a forgiver or a revenger? - FULL ANALYSIS at https://www.spotamovie.com/playing-god-2021-movie-review-and-analysis/
