What to Know

Critics Consensus

Play Dirty marks a welcome return for writer-director Shane Black to the realm of wisecracking crime thriller, but haphazard execution makes this vehicle less of a comeback and more just low-stakes mucking around.

Mark Wahlberg is playing this guy like every guy he's ever played. Go to Full Review
John Nugent Empire Magazine Oct 3
3/5
Not quite vintage Black, and Mark Wahlberg is no Robert Downey Jr, but this is fast and funny enough to be worth a couple of your hours. Squint hard enough and it almost feels like you’re back in the ’90s. Go to Full Review
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club Oct 2

It’s overlong and friction-less, with chase and action scenes that quickly devolve into pile-ups of Rivian product-placements and gummy-looking VFX elements. Go to Full Review
Surya Komal Just for Movie Freaks Dec 8
1.5/5
Play Dirty feels like a hollow-sounding echo of classic heist thrillers: noisy, overlong, and ultimately forgettable. Go to Full Review

5/10
Beyond a few fun performances, this movie falls flat. The script feels bloated, and Shane Black's touch fails to shine through. Go to Full Review
John Stark Mac the Movie Guy Oct 19
30/100
Play Dirty has a messy script that needs to be cleaned up, which is depressing considering it passed by Shane Black who should have known better. Go to Full Review
