The professional thief known as "Parker" is the protagonist of a series of pulpy crime novels by author Donald E. Westlake's Richard Stark alter ego. The first actor to portray Parker on screen was Lee Marvin in John Boorman's 1967 arthouse thriller Point Blank. The Parker of Boorman's film was a stoic figure, and that's generally how he's been depicted in the many subsequent adaptations of Westlake/Stark's books. As played by Mark Wahlberg, the Parker of Shane Black's Play Dirty is similarly sardonic, but the world Black and co-writers Charles Mondry and Anthony Bagarozzi create around him is now positively cartoonish, a far cry from the grittiness of Point Blank and 1973's The Outfit, the two best Parker movies to date.

The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
