Prime Video's new action-thriller 'Play Dirty,' directed by Shane Black and starring Mark Wahlberg, is now streaming. The film, based on the 'Parker' novel series, features a heist plot with double-crosses and a holiday setting, receiving mixed reviews but generally considered an entertaining distraction with a strong performance by LaKeith Stanfield.

'Play Dirty' is a lackluster action-thriller on Amazon Prime featuring Mark Wahlberg as a criminal, with a convoluted plot, underwhelming performances, and a tone that leans more into comedy than the intricate crime story it aims to be, leaving viewers disappointed in its execution.
Producer Joel Silver has been fired from the upcoming Amazon film Play Dirty due to alleged verbal abuse towards studio executives over creative differences. The project, based on the Parker crime novels, was initially set to star Robert Downey Jr. but now has Mark Wahlberg attached as the lead. Silver had previously worked with writer-director Shane Black on various projects. While there were reports of Silver being fired from another film, Road House, sources state that he had already fulfilled his obligations on that project. Known for his work on franchises like Lethal Weapon and The Matrix, Silver's recent credits include SuperFly and Suburbicon.
