Playing God is a 1997 film starring David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton, and Angelina Jolie. It was Duchovny's first starring role after achieving success with The X-Files, and did not fare well financially or with critics, scoring just 19% at the review site Rotten Tomatoes and making only $4,166,918 at the US theater box office. Popular film critic Roger Ebert however, gave the film three stars saying "This may not be a great movie, but for both Duchovny and Hutton, it's a turning point" citing Duchovny's ability to "stand above the action" like Clint Eastwood; and Hutton's ability to create a real character as the villain, instead of merely filling a space . The film was directed by Andy Wilson, who also directed the BBC miniseries Gormenghast.
The film's trailer contained a brief glimpse of a sex scene between Duchovny and Jolie. The actress later confirmed that she had filmed two sex scenes for the movie, but that both of them were edited out of the final cut. Less
