I went in expecting something like Small Things Like These, but Steve hits way harder and messier. It's a 24-hour spiral through a reform school headmaster's breakdown, and man, it's a lot. Cillian Murphy's performance is magnetic - he's exhausted, kind, and unraveling all at once. But the film itself? Kind of a sensory overload.

The camera never sits still, the script throws too many characters at you, and the emotional beats feel rushed. I wanted more time with Shy, the kid at the heart of it all, but the movie keeps yanking focus back to Steve. It's like the story forgot who it was really about.

Still, there's something raw and honest in how it shows the burnout of caring too much. It's not inspirational, not tidy, but it's bold. Not for everyone, though. If you like quiet drama, this'll feel like a punch in the face. But if you're into chaotic empathy and don't mind a bit of narrative mess, it's worth the ride. Just don't expect closure.

First word that hit me after watching? Chaotic.

So yeah, "Play Dirty" is technically a remake-based on Donald E. It's more like a mashup of "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Nice Guys" with a sprinkle of "Die Hard" Christmas chaos.

Mark Wahlberg as Parker? Meh. He's got the swagger but not the magnetism. The action's loud, the jokes land half the time, and the plot's a tangled mess of double-crosses and random explosions.

Still, I kinda enjoyed the absurdity. A bank heist that spills into a horse race? CGI jockeys flying like darts? It's ridiculous, but in a "did that just happen?" way.

Is it worth watching? Depends. If you're into snarky, violent throwbacks with zero emotional stakes, go for it. Otherwise, it's just another disposable streamer flick.

I wouldn't call it good, but I wasn't bored either.

This film does echo the vibe of other WWII dramas. Still, it stands on its own. I went in expecting a history lesson and got a tense character study instead. Gary Oldman disappears into Churchill-like, scary good. The makeup, the voice, the mannerisms... nailed it.

The film's real strength? Atmosphere. The war cabinet scenes feel like pressure cookers. You can almost smell the cigars and sweat. The cinematography's moody and tight, which makes the stakes feel personal. Loved the use of silence too - Wright knows when to let a moment breathe.

It's not action-packed, and yeah, some parts drag. But if you're into political drama and powerhouse performances, it's totally worth watching. Just don't expect explosions - this one's all about words, choices, and legacy.
