'Twinless' Review: Love, Lies, and Loss Collide in this Unflinchingly Honest Film

'Play Dirty' Review: A Criminal Waste of Shane Black’s Talents
Play Dirty isn’t unwatchable. There are flashes of fun, Stanfield is a delight, and if you put it on in the background while you doomscroll, it’ll do the job.
