Such a waste of great talent

Such a waste of great talent. It’s like a bunch of fifth graders wrote and directed this convoluted plot-hole riddled nonsense. There were so many pointless scenes that seem like they should matter, but never do (e.g. Why always room 12?). Then it jumps between a serious tone to a lame comedy, like a failed SNL skit that didn’t make the cut. Never mind the lack of any real plot advancement in between the useless scenes, the ridiculously slow pacing and overlong runtime. Don’t even get me started on the horrible editing, especially in the first scene, which set the stage for this messy nonsense. It’s a generous 5/10 all for the all star cast doing their best with the garbage the filmmakers gave them to work with.

Mark, Please Fire Your Agent

What exactly happened to Mark Wahlberg? He used to headline solid films like Shooter, The Departed, and even did great in comedy with The Other Guys. But lately, it feels like he signs up for every bad script that lands on his desk. Play Dirty is just another forgettable entry on that list. Mark has the money and the reputation.. so why waste it on these throwaway projects? Honestly, the probability of him starring in a good movie these days feels like 1 out of 10, and that says a lot. What is his agent even doing? Isn’t it their job to filter scripts and protect his career? Instead, they’re turning him into a running joke. Mark deserves better, and so do we as the audience!
