- ርልዪረOctober 1, 2025Mark Wahlberg's latest film, Play Dirty, is a delightful mix of subtle and slapstick comedy that will have you laughing out loud. Wahlberg nails the role with his usual charm, delivering both quick-witted one-liners and perfectly timed physical comedy. The humor is smart and often understated, giving the movie a light-hearted tone without ever feeling forced. With a solid blend of slapstick moments and clever jokes, Play Dirty keeps the audience entertained from start to finish. It's a perfect pick for anyone in need of a good laugh-definitely worth the watch!
- Tony BrownOctober 1, 2025Great well worth a watch 😂🤣😊
- Roderick Vaughn BridgesJanuary 15, 2026Decent storyline, with a bit of bait and switch. A decent movie to watch anytime.
- rob.izard@rogers.comJanuary 5, 2026Predictable but good. Nice time waster.
- steve youngJanuary 3, 2026The mediocre CGI was one distraction too many that took away from the overall greatness of what they were going for here. Fun and funny to watch though! The violence was unexpectedly over the top for what was billed as a heist film, but I suppose that's a sign of the times lol
- PlexecutionerXJanuary 3, 2026Entertaining heist flick!
- Alfred VersluisJanuary 1, 2026Nice movie
- Omer NaorDecember 27, 2025Solid action movie with well executed action sequences. Balanced amount of comedic scenes. The kitsch ratio is good. Overall nice performance by Wahlberg and LaKieth
- HakihikoDecember 27, 2025A Film That Never Finds Its Edge "Play Dirty" feels like a movie that wants to be sharper, bolder, and more provocative than it actually is. There's an intention to push boundaries and deliver something gritty or subversive, but the execution never fully commits, leaving the experience flat and ultimately disappointing. The film has moments where you can sense potential - hints of tension, ideas that could have gone somewhere interesting - but they're never developed enough to make an impact. The direction lacks confidence, and the movie often feels hesitant, as if unsure of what kind of story it wants to tell. The writing is one of its weakest points. The script struggles to create believable stakes or engaging dynamics, resulting in scenes that feel forced rather than natural. Characters are thinly sketched, making it hard to care about their choices or outcomes. Performances try to elevate the material, but there's only so much that can be done with such limited substance. In the end, "Play Dirty" is a forgettable experience. It's not aggressively bad, but it's dull, unfocused, and lacking personality. A movie that promises edge and attitude, but delivers something far more timid and unremarkable.
- Billy ZaneOctober 2, 2025Shane Black movies are always funny and entertaining. All the characters are quirky and it's a good watch!
- RicFlix1December 26, 2025As a big fan Point Blank & Payback, as well as Shane Black, I went into this with high hopes. I was met with a ho hum, even if serviceable action flick with Play Dirty. As others have noted, this has got solid potential but tends to morph into a Fast & Furious-esque team caper flick even if it does it capably.
