Synopsis
A secret club of billionaires bets on crime before it happens. The Player (2015) is NBC's high-octane crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Former military operative Alex Kane signs on as a Las Vegas security consultant and discovers the wager: can he stop the next big heist, murder or attack from going down, while the house quietly stacks the odds against him?
Philip Winchester plays Kane, a man whose wife was just killed and who now chases chaos across the casinos, rooftops and vaults of Vegas. Wesley Snipes is Mr. Johnson, the smooth handler who doles out each assignment and clearly knows more than he lets on. Every episode runs like a timed operation — surveillance feeds, intercepts, gunfights — with the bigger question of who is really pulling the strings humming underneath.
The show ran a single nine-episode season before NBC pulled it, so the ending stays open. What's left is pure genre adrenaline: Snipes back on screen and Las Vegas shot like one giant game board. Worth it for fans of procedurals built at blockbuster scale. Stream The Player (2015) online on iFILM.
