New Release Review - "Play Dirty"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-10-09

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.
