YMMV / Play Dirty

• Broken Base: Depending on who you ask, the ending is either delightfully appropriate or excessively mean-spirited and abrupt.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Out of nowhere, the wounded Assine coughs up blood (never a good sign) and shoots the nurse with his revolver, apparently because of some magical psychic connection with Hassan (who was killed in the attack on the depot). In an otherwise grounded World War II film. It doesn't seem to be anything more than a hastily-written excuse to kill the two off.
• Crosses the Line Twice: The ending is so shocking that it can come off as this.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: Play Dirty is cynical even by the standards of late-60s war movies and Vietnam disillusion, so this is inevitable. Especially with it being a World War II movie.
