Corrida Contra a Morte

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.

With the over-saturation of what is available on streaming services add this to your watch-list immediately and gear up for a wild ride as it is one insane debacle after another all masterfully woven together.

This cast - seriously, it is always a treat to see Ron Perlman and Theo Rossi consistently delivering on-screen magic. And Teresa Celeste? An absolute dream - and crew - looking at you, Tom Denucci - are true artists in storytelling. The fact that this is free on Tubi is bonkers, but how lucky for us?

Right from the start you're drawn in and held the whole way by one single question, "what is going to happen next?"

This is an action packed, crime film that will keep you on the edge of your seat!!!

The second you start watching it, it takes you for a wild ride, and you won't want to get off!

It's so exciting and thrilling!!

Keeps you on your toes, And You don't know what's gonna happen next!

You really feel like you're in the movie!!

This is an Amazing film!!!

The writing is phenomenal!!

And the acting is outstanding!!

The whole cast is so amazing in it!!

Ron Perlman is incredible!!

And Teresa Celeste is so fantastic in this!!

And with an incredible performance by Theo Rossi as lead, it's so captivating!!!

And it is an amazing, MUST WATCH!!!

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.

This film will have you zigging when you are expecting to zag, and vice versa..... so many twists, turns & surprises. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Once again, Theo Rossi has you completely invested in his character and no matter what, you're somehow always rooting for him. The actors don't just "phone in" their parts.... you can feel their dedication, heart & souls in this project.

What a complete delight to see Theo Rossi & Ron Perlman together again on screen!

Don't miss this one, it will take you on a tense and perfectly choreographed journey into the unexpected.........
