neutral · AI labelView post →got my ass to this surreally small Play Dirty screening with a Shane Black Q&A by the skin of my teeth. featuring surprise moderator Robert Downey Jr.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wasn't until I decided to watch PLAY DIRTY last night that I realized it's a Shane Black film. Phenomenal cast, solid popcorn film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6paP...
positive · AI labelView post →hey can you guys stop getting mad at me over Marky Mark playing Parker in Play Dirty? I love Parker too but, as it turns out - and this may shock you! - I did not personally cast him in the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →"As Parker, Wahlberg is always the least compelling actor in any given scene—a remarkable achievement when the only other performers are extras." I dislike tearing any movie down, but I had to bring out the wrecking ball for Play Dirty. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/play...
neutral · AI labelView post →saw another review of Play Dirty pop up immediately after I posted mine that mentioned an embargo, but no one said shit to me about that so here we go lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →The news that Shane Black’s new film is called Play Dirty is reason enough to remind everyone that Andre De Toth’s Play Dirty is one of the greatest (and bleakest) war films ever made. boxd.it/5m0xcn
neutral · AI labelView post →the marketing for this film has been abysmal, borderline nonexistent - but Play Dirty deserves a chance to get eyeballs on it
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you have a podcast about movies, books, pop culture, and/or Christmas? The second edition of HAVE YOURSELF A MOVIE LITTLE CHRISTMAS is out soon, and I'd love to talk about holiday cinema (including upcoming new titles like The Baltimorons and Play Dirty.) #filmsky #booksky 📽️ 📚
neutral · AI labelView post →"And although he handles himself well in action sequences and is pretty good with a threat, his range is so narrow that he makes Clint Eastwood seem like Daniel Day-Lewis in comparison." @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social's review of PLAY DIRTY is magnificent
neutral · AI labelView post →With the news that No Other Choice, Park Chan-Wook’s adaptation of The Ax, and Play Dirty, Shane Black’s Parker film, are both now slated for fall, it’s time to share my @crimereads.bsky.social piece on Donald Westlake on film.

neutral · AI labelView post →PLAY DIRTY is Shane Black's new Amazon Prime movie based on Richard Stark's Parker books. It's not terrible and made me laugh quite a bit, but man is it frustrating if you're hung up on the source material like I am.
neutral · AI labelView post →Play Dirty is not a good movie, but I do admire the balls of giving your Mark Wahlberg character a backstory where he was beaten up by older bully kids. Let me engage in my unethical consumption under capitalism without reminding me of the thing, film
negative · AI labelView post →Shane Black's PLAY DIRTY feels like something from an alternate universe where the ultraviolent American studio action movie got crazier and crazier until we wound up with something as insane as PLAY DIRTY. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

neutral · AI labelView post →Every now and then, if you squint real hard, you can start to see what Shane Black is going for and PLAY DIRTY almost seems like a real movie.
negative · AI labelView post →PLAY Dirty feels less like a Shane Black movie and more like an Amazon Prime Video movie. I get the sneaking suspicion that a lot happened behind the scenes on this one. Full review is live at TFM. thefilmmaven.com/play-dirty-r...
neutral · AI labelView post →So that Mark Wahlberg-LaKeith Stanfield action heist movie, PLAY DIRTY, that Amazon just announced is coming to Prime Video on October 1? Yeah, it's a Shane Black joint, so you know that what means…CHRISTMAS! 🎥 Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUEb...
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching this Mark Wahlberg Parker film Play Dirty and it’s even worse than I imagined. Shane Black did what he did with his trash Predator movie and decided that every moment had to be deflated with the easiest joke possible. It’s literally every scene. The most embarrassing Parker. A rancid movie.
negative · AI labelView post →It's been over a decade since Parker (2013), but somehow 2025 is Donald E. Westlake szn with 3 of his books adapted for film..directed by Shane Black (Play Dirty), Park Chan-wook (No Other Choice), and Duke Johnson (The Actor).
neutral · AI labelView post →And here's the true heart of this movie: the great Nigel Green as Colour Sergeant Bourne. Born in SA and raised in England, he had a decent film career. He appeared with Caine in two later movies, The Ipcress File and Play Dirty. He also was in Tobruk. Sadly he died at 47 in 1972. #hatm
neutral · AI labelView post →Slow old fortnight for film, what with work, fam & travel. But the young feller sorted the DVD player for us so 1st cab off the rank is ‘Play Dirty.’ late 60s Michael Caine is a naive office joining Brit irregulars tasked with blowing up Rommel’s fuel depot.

positive · AI labelView post →Our new episode is up. Little different this week as the movie we intended to cover was less available than we had hoped. Instead it's an extended intro and @countxer0.bsky.social angrily reviews the new Mark Wahlberg film Play Dirty. open.spotify.com/episode/7rdE...
neutral · AI labelView post →Another day, another synthetic direct-to-streaming movie. Shane Black's '90s throwback heist thriller for Amazon, PLAY DIRTY, had me once again asking, "Why is Mark Wahlberg a movie star?" Among other questions. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching PLAY DIRTY (2025)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Play Dirty which, as a big Parker fan, was a very weird experience. Saw Thomas Jane was in the opening sequence and then spent the whole film wishing that he and Mark Wahlberg had swapped parts. An older Parker coming back (like the books) after a long hiatus could really have worked.
neutral · AI labelView post →PLAY DIRTY: Shane Black returns with a movie full of hateful dialogue, wanton cruelty and gratuitous death. I had no choice but to submit and smile all the way through. MVP is Lakeith Stanfield, who just glides through every scene.
positive · AI labelView post →Evening Viewing: PLAY DIRTY (2025) It's... fine? I think there's a great action-comedy in here somewhere, and even a good Parker movie, but they're oil and water when you try to do both. It's about what I expected it would be when I heard Shane Black had the rights.
neutral · AI labelView post →SHANE BLACK is back on the Writers Panel today to talk about his new movie, PLAY DIRTY, adapting Donald Westlake, how he pushes through imposter syndrome, respectful but playful actors, how production is just “shopping for ingredients” +lots more. benblacker.substack.com/p/shane-blac...
neutral · AI labelView post →Would like to get my hands on the original version of LETHAL WEAPON 2 that Shane Black and Warren "The Remo Williams Guy" Murphy wrote, which was called PLAY DIRTY. Apparently that's the title of Black's new movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Play Dirty" by André De Toth (1968) Mickael Caine during the most difficult filming of his life (very physical role, too much sand, too much heat) and later said in an interview: "...I will never make another film in Spain..." (films and filming, April 1969). 🎬 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →My Google alert for Donald Westlake turns up a lot of churned-out pieces from no-name outlets breathlessly announcing the latest minor announcements about the forthcoming Parker film Play Dirty. Today snagged an obviously AI-written piece that, among other nonsense, called the movie Play Soiled.
neutral · AI labelView post →OTD 55 years ago, PLAY DIRTY (1969) hit UK cinemas. A #WW2 mission movie it centres on the exploits of an undefined unit that is inspired by the #LRDG or perhaps #SAS. It was hardly an original film, though. A thread on special units doing daring do in the desert... 🧵 1/9
neutral · AI labelView post →PLAY DIRTY - Like I said, frustrating movie. Marky Mark's wannabe Boston tough guy schtick is completely wrong and the big explodey action sequences and stakes don't vibe with Parker's whole deal but...man, there are some great bits in it too.
neutral · AI labelView post →don't worry, guys, I'm the only Richard Stark fan who loves Godard's Made in USA, the Peter Coyote Slayground film, the Grofield novels as much as the Parker ones, and thinks Play Dirty has canon tier perfect characterisation
positive · AI labelView post →After MGM sacked Joel Silver on Roadhouse and the aptly named Play Dirty, the spendy producer gets a deal at Sony. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
neutral · AI labelView post →Last movie of the year: #NowWatching Shane Black's Play Dirty (2025).
neutral · AI labelView post →PLAY DIRTY (2025) is a Shane Black heist movie. It's a blast from start to finish, with hilarious dialogue, wild action sequences and more twists than an entire season of the Twilight Zone. I dug the hell out of this movie, and normally I can't stand Mark Wahlberg. 😂
positive · AI labelView post →Another bunch of movie reviews from the previous 2 days, going with Amongst the Wolves, Steve, Play Dirty and Vicious
neutral · AI labelView post →4 #movies for this weeks #moviechallenge Play Dirty (2025) - New Shane Black, some fun parts but nothing essential. 🔁Copshop (2021) - Small scale gem, Toby Huss is amazing. 🔁Sisu (2022) - Sequel incoming. Primitive War (2025) - Aussie Dino movie, dumb fun but should have been 30 minutes shorter.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched PLAY DIRTY on Prime. It’s a reasonably amusing Shane Black heist film, with way too much ridiculous CG, and an excellent Alan Silvestri score. But no damn way is it a Parker film.

neutral · AI labelView post →October 1st can’t come soon enough! First trailer dropped for our good friend and advisor, Shane Black’s new film, Play Dirty, starring Mark Wahlberg.
neutral · AI labelView post →A film, not a series, called 'Play Dirty' directed and co-written by Shane Black with Mark Wahlberg as Parker and LaKeith Stanfield as Grofield. From the premise, it sounds like it will be a loose adaptation of The Black Ice Score. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_Di...
neutral · AI labelView post →7 Women is a great film and a perfect final cinematic note for John Ford to go out on. Play Dirty is a great film and also a perfect final note for Andre de Toth to go out on. One of the great final shots
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy holidays from Tough Business! We’re celebrating with our new favorite Christmas movie, Play Dirty 😊🎁 You can read our interview with director Shane Black here: toughbusiness.neocities.org/shaneblackin...
neutral · AI labelView post →So I just watched "Play Dirty" - www.imdb.com/title/tt1839... It's really dumb, but it has enough charisma to carry it through. It's someone forgot a 90's action comedy in a drawer and put it out there. In a good way. 6/10 #Movie #Review #PlayDirty
neutral · AI labelView post →Play Dirty was fun. A little bit of the director playing the hits, and the amazing cast has to act around Mark Wahlberg, though Rosa Salazar, Lakeith Stanfield, et. al. have to carry the movie on their backs. Some interesting twists, a nice set of double-crosses, a waste of Thomas Jane, solid 3.5-4
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Play Dirty and it is a weird ass movie to experience. It's not bad, necessarily, but definitely not a great Shane Black movie. It also feels like it's trying not to be a Parker adaptation, like it's constantly trying to smooth over the ugliest parts of the character.
neutral · AI labelView post →📽️🎞️🍿 #MOVIE #REVIEW 🍿🎞️🎥 If you haven't seen "Play Dirty" movie on @primevideo.bsky.social you're missing out on a GREAT Action Suspense movie with a LOT of HILARIOUS scenes. Now @markwahlbergpage.bsky.social , why did you have to shoot @mcuban.bsky.social ❓Did he die 🤔💭❓ youtu.be/6paP2-ry-QY?...
positive · AI labelView post →Can't help but smile at the tenor of Play Dirty reviews on Letterboxd being "why isn't this movie a classic like The Nice Guys?," a movie that did not feel like it was greeted as a classic when it came out either
