Play Dirty

Director Tom DeNucci does it again. The plot twists and turns, taking you on a wild ride with Theo Rossi's outstanding performance as "Grady." The cast is diverse and eccentric. The stuntwork is outstanding. The action is non-stop. Theo is simply awesome. Also loved Teresa Celeste! Man oh man! What a performance! Bravo to Ron Perlman, Michael Zuccola, Fred Sullivan, Tom Glynn, John Fiore, and Tom Jones. Great cinematography by Marcus Friedlander. Loved the cat named "DONNIE!" And Asher Liam Clay did a great job as Juicy's son. What did I love most about this film? The ENDING was a shocker!!! This is a MUST SEE MOVIE!!!

This movie is the definition of a one-night time-killer.. A couple of familiar faces couldn't save it-not that they even tried..

Honestly, it feels like nobody put in any effort, from the writer and director down to the cinematographers and actors..

Zero suspense, a script so cliché you'll want to fast-forward through the whole thing. Didn't grab me at all..

It's barely passable as background noise for a tired work evening when you've got absolutely nothing better to do - and instantly forgettable. But don't expect anything remotely worthwhile. I'm being extremely generous with a 3/10.. No.

"Play Dirty" was such an unexpected gem of a movie that I got to see on Tubi. Not only did the movie have amazing action sequences from beginning to end, that keeps the viewer engaged, but there were also plot twists and turns mixed in with the action that also keep the viewers intrigued. The main characters are all flawed, yet also extremely relatable, which also makes the viewer more enthusiastic about staying engrossed in the story. Theo Rossi, Ron Perlman, Teresa Celeste, and Thomas Q. Jones, were all fantastic in their roles. "Play Dirty" will have you on the edge of your seat and the ending will definitely make you think. Highly recommend!

Rossi is our central character on this "one night to get it right" crime-redemption story. Director Denucci does not spoon-feed us another "bad guy with a heart of gold" with Rossi's character. Instead, we are free to make up our own minds if the central character is one to cheer for, pity, or root against. Throughout the film, all three emotions came to me.

Pearlman, as always, delivers. Horror fans will find Laid to Rest's "Chromeskull" Nick Principe's performance as a nasty cult leader, to be a revelation.

Play Dirty does a nice job in working within the tropes of gangster/underworld films while also offering some unique perspectives and casting. For instance, the love interest that both our protagonist and antagonist covet ("Juicy") is a shapely, single mom, not the typical 25year-old, 100-pound waif damsel in Hollywood distress we usually see.

I might have done something a bit more ambiguous for the ending, something that you can decide for yourself if it works once you watch the film.

Add this movie to your lists on Tubi! What a great cast and twists and turns with this one. Loved seeing Theo Rossi and Ron Perlman back in action together. If you like gun fights and lots of action this is for you. The ending will surprise you!!!

Theo Rossi is one of those actors that definitely loves what he is doing. To write, produce and act takes dedication and heart, and Theo has both. His portrayal of Grady was edgy and sharp. A corrupt cop with unsavory decisions gets you on the edge of your seat. Buckle up for quite the ride in this movie. Grit, sexy, mobsters- this one has it all. Juicy!
