Play Dirty is a 2025 American action thriller directed by Shane Black, starring Mark Wahlberg as a seasoned thief thrust into an audacious heist that pits him against some of the most dangerous forces on earth — a ruthless South American dictator, organized crime out of New York, and a billionaire with unlimited resources.
What is Play Dirty about?
When master thief Parker is handed what looks like the opportunity of a lifetime, he quickly realizes the job is anything but straightforward. Assembling a crew of specialists, he must outmaneuver three simultaneous threats: a South American strongman who runs his country like a personal fiefdom, a New York mob operation with deep roots and longer memories, and the world's wealthiest man whose reach extends into every corner of the globe. As loyalties shift and the window for escape narrows, Parker has to decide how far he will bend his own rules to survive — and whether the score is worth what it might ultimately cost him and the people he trusts.
Cast & crew
Mark Wahlberg anchors the film as Parker, bringing the bruised confidence that has defined much of his action work. LaKeith Stanfield and Rosa Salazar provide counterbalance with sharp, grounded performances. The ensemble — which includes Keegan-Michael Key, Chukwudi Iwuji, Nat Wolff, Thomas Jane, and Tony Shalhoub — gives the film a crowded, unpredictable energy that keeps the stakes feeling genuinely contested.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking audiences abroad have long had an appetite for tight, star-driven Hollywood heist thrillers — the kind of film you can watch with the whole family on a weekend evening and immediately want to debate scene by scene. Play Dirty fits squarely in that tradition, built around the satisfaction of watching a clever crew operate against impossible odds. Shane Black, the writer-director behind Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, brings his signature blend of sharp dialogue and propulsive plotting. The film is available on K-Time with full Persian dubbing, so viewers who prefer to follow the action in their own language can do so without missing a word.
