Shane Black?

Glib one-liners and glib gunplay? Bigger and bigger action, with a bigger and bigger bodycounts?

The actor turned writer and writer-director who peaked with “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” made his way to a “comeback” with “The Nice Guys” Shane Black? Shane Black who then made “The Predator” reboot to spoil it?

Oh, and “Last Action Hero,” “Last Boy Scout,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight” and “Lethal Weapon” “high concept” action “comedy” Shane Black?

Yeah, that guy, Mr. Hit or Miss, is the one behind the over-the-top, CGI-assisted, slaughterhouse of a heist “comedy” “Play Dirty.” With that introduction, you can probably guess which Shane Black I think showed up for this one.

A direct-to-streaming MGM thriller based on the Donald Westlake “Parker” underworld figure, it’s a Mark Wahlberg star vehicle that reaches for laughs and finds a few, puts a LOT of actors to work and kills off many and buries us under plots, counter-plots, mayhem and one-liners hoping we’ll ignore the fact that it makes little sense and the fact that it gets the few “facts” it dares to plug in wrong.

“I’m good at surviving,” our murderous anti-hero Parker declares. “So are cockroaches” one of his many foils spits back.

It’s a “trigger-happy” robber (Wahlberg) vs. “The Outfit” “rob the robber” thriller about a heist gone wrong, a “rob a country” bigger heist stumbled into in which you don’t get too attached to whoever the one-time “Punisher” in the cast in playing. Because somebody — a LOT of somebodies — will die.

Parker & Crew hit a racetrack in the opening scene, in which no digital horses are injured in the chaos that sends a getaway chase onto the track. Accomplices are killed when the safecracker who is anything but Zen — like her name (Rosa Salazar) — betrays them.

But she’s just gathering cash for an even bigger caper, an attack on the U.N. to steal treasure stolen from “my (Central American) country” by its evil presidente. That’s what Parker and his theater major pal Grofield (LaKeith Stanfield), “lady’s man”/wheelman Stan (Chai Henson) and the disguise-happy couple (Keegan Michael-Key and Claire Lovering) join Zen in attempting.

The unnamed Latin country’s security agents stand in their way. The Outfit, led by Lozini (Tony Shalhoub), has a bone to pick with Parker and an inept Top Lieutenant (Nat Wolff) on their tail

And in touches straight out of the low-rent pulp fiction of Clive Cussler (“Sahara”), the prize is the treasure of “a fifteenth century Spanish galleon,” including the ship’s figurehead, “Our Lady of Arintero,” sort of the Spanish “Mulan.”

Black and his co-writers are hip enough to make “wardrobe malfunction” (2004 Super Bowl) and “transgender kinda thing” cracks. Ahem.

“Are we being ‘Punk’d’ here?”

And they attach a legitimate piece of Spanish history to the plot, but confusingly name the warrior in the manner of the saints — “The Lady” becomes “Our Lady.”

Pointing out that the Central Americans repeatedly refer to a shipwrecked “15th century Spanish (treasure) galleon” when A) Columbus sailed in the 15th century, aka “1492; B) “treasure fleets” didn’t set out from the New World to the old until 1520 (the 16th Century) and Spanish “galleons” did not exist until 1530, also in the 16th century, would be petty.

Maybe that poor, backward and unnamed country needs the treasure to finance better history education.

Stanfield is more entertaining to watch than Wahlberg, and too much of what’s meant to be exciting or fun outside of their actions is just dull filler.

It’s all part and parcel of a big, blundering, Bugs Bunny Physics thriller that parks all these actors in an increasingly grating and nonsensical story which kind of climaxes when rich oligarchs get involved.

Spoiler alert — one of those fat cats gets shot, the “funniest” shooting in a movie that makes Parker an upflinching, unrepentent mass murderer. Well, I laughed.

All in good fun, right? Except it isn’t all that much fun. The odd chuckle doesn’t atone for the scads of laughs that just don’t land in a story that spins its wheels on the snowy streets of NYC. Except when the crooks drive a Rivian.
