‘Play Dirty‘ Trailer Unleashes A Gritty, Star-Studded Heist Thriller
Prime Video is turning up the heat this fall with Play Dirty, a high-stakes, action-packed thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield.
If you’ve been craving a slick heist flick with mob drama, clever cons, and a dash of chaos, this one’s got your name written all over it.

Directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys), Play Dirty follows master thief Parker (Wahlberg) as he plans the most ambitious score of his career.
But when his crew, including Grofield (Stanfield), Zen (Rosa Salazar), and a few other savvy specialists, stumble into mob territory, all bets are off.
Even robbers get robbed.
And yes, if Parker’s name sounds familiar, it’s because this film is based on the “Parker” book series by Richard Stark, the legendary pen name of crime writer Donald E. Westlake.
With dozens of gritty tales under his belt, Stark’s stories are known for their no-nonsense antiheroes, twisted plots, and criminal cool and Play Dirty looks ready to honor that legacy.
