Play Dirty

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/play-dirty-review/

"Play Dirty is a huge disappointment. It feels like a cheap imitation of a Shane Black film, rather than a genuine and memorable addition to his filmography.

It fails on almost every level, from the most basic technical aspects to the lack of originality in its script. It's a soulless project that wastes a talented cast and, more importantly, the viewer's time, leaving us wondering how the man behind such vibrant classics could deliver something so forgettable and devoid of passion.

It's proof that sometimes, a filmmaker's magic can simply vanish without a trace."

Rating: D+

Don't understand the mixed reviews. This movie is fun, big action scenes. Very funny. A lot of twists and turns. The opening is a series of surprises. It slows down a bit after that. But then it's great and it ends great. Seems like there are a lot of haters who are hating for reasons that aren't about the actual movie.

Venezuelans hire Parker, the coolest American in the world, to commit the most horrific terror act on NYC since Hell up in Harlem. How many killed by that crash? Explosions, building fires, random people on the street, one liners. How can we like these people? …and the movie casually begins again from there, our lovable terrorists celebrating in the Christmas spirit.

This movie sucks. It is boring but the train shit…so weird. Confounding. Absent. The nonchalant way he kills a waiter but everyone accepts and wants him. He kills her? Then is indignant, ‘you better not let her down,’ to the guy? I might not be divergent enough. Alls I know is, you better be a honest-to-goodness, muslim-tricking, random-slaughtering, santa-loving Christian!
