Some have compared this movie to 'The Dirty Dozen' but that comparison is only superficial What I would like to compare 'Play Dirty' to is 'Ice Cold In Alex'.Both have a fine cast of British actors playing WW2 soldiers in North Africa behind enemy lines but after that the story of the two movies are really a counterpoint to each other.'Alex' is an intimate character study of people under enormous pressure while the other is an examination of people through the wrong end of a telescope with no intimacy at all.Each movie has a fine script very good direction,cinematography and acting.For me the outstanding performance was by Vivianne Pickles who played the German nurse .
Considering she had about 4 minutes of screen time,no speaking lines and was heavily gagged and tied for half of that time says it all.
