It’s been seven years since Shane Black directed his last feature, 2018’sThe Predator. The Predator installment fell outside of Black’s wheelhouse of blending action and comedy, i.e.,Lethal WeaponandThe Nice Guys.The first trailer forPlay Dirty, a heist movie releasing onPrime Videothis fall, suggests a return to Black’s comfort zone.

Mark Wahlbergstars as Parker, an expert thief betrayed by a mysterious woman, Zen (Rosa Salazar), who kills his entire team. Instead of revenge, Parker agrees to work with her to “rob an entire country” by stealing a sunken treasure worth a billion dollars.

Parker assembles a team, including his right-hand man, Grofield (LaKeith Stanfield), to execute the heist. The job isn’t without its dangers, as Parker takes on the mafia, a billionaire, and an army.

Play Dirtyalso stars Keegan-Michael Key, Chukwudi Iwuji, Nat Wolff, Thomas Jane, and Tony Shalhoub. The movie is based on the Parker book series by Richard Stark, a pen name for author Donald E. Westlake.

Black directsPlay Dirtyfrom a screenplay he co-wrote with Charles Mondry and Anthony Bagarozzi. Black broke out asan actor on Predator, where he provided uncredited rewrites to the script. Black then went on to pen some of the most memorable action scripts of the late ’80s and early ’90s, includingLethal Weapon, The Last BoyScout, andLast Action Hero.
