The latest Jason Statham shoot em up, he plays a professional thief going after the crew who screwed him over and left him for dead. When Statham is doing his thing it's pretty good with a couple of brutal fights, but all the boring crap with J-Lo threatens to grind the middle of the film to a complete halt. Her character is pointless, stupid and annoying...seriously, every time she opened her mouth I wanted to punch her fucking teeth out. Also, Nick Nolte looks like he died 5 years ago.

Loved the stupid flashbacks to the opening scene "OH RIGHT THOSE WERE THE BAD GUYS I FORGOT !!!" It's not boring I GUESS. I really liked Statham's Texan accent and wish he kept that stupid thing going for the entire movie.

Runs slightly longer than it has a right to. J-Lo does well enough in her role, unfortunately it's a role that's not written to do much at all for the story and writing her out would have improved the pace.

A good crime flick and an about average Statham one (I'm a fan). Main problem with it is that Parker isn't very Parker-like. Not cold enough or ruthless enough by miles. If you want to read about Parker's many exploits there are 24 Parker novels written by Donald Westlake under the pen name Richard Stark. The Hunter, written in 1962 is the first of them, and it was also the basis of the 1967 movie Point Blank, staring Lee Marvin. Mel Gibson's Payback (1999) was a remake of that. Watch them!

This was a film that seemed to have a certain amount of potential to be one of the better Statham-flicks. In the end, it's not. It's too long, the romantic angle was really weird and unrewarding, and in the end I'm not sure what I'm left with. The plot seems to be a mesh of random elements haphazardly thrown together. Really not worth anyone's time, despite the obvious draws like Statham being Statham. Oh, and the relatively frequently used flashbacks were surreally unnecessary.

Average Statham movie. Someone double crosses him then he makes them pay. And he always has a beautiful woman around this time Jennifer Lopez.

Statham is enjoyable. He pretty much always is, even if sometimes his choice in post-Guy Ritchie movies leaves a lot to be desired. I enjoy watching him as an action hero, but there just isn't much in Parker to thrill you. It's not bad, it's just not overly good. It takes a while to get exciting, and the stuff when it's not is okay. It's just a lot of meh.

Does Parker have magic anti-detection powers? Because it felt like every time you turned around he was stealing a car or breaking into a house *completely* undetected no matter how many people were around. Parker is a low-reward crime thriller with not a lot of punch, despite Statham's always-entertaining spin on his character. And not to sound like a blind hater, but goddamn does J-Lo ever suck in this. She's just not a good actress, and her whole sub-plot and story is not interesting. Pass.

Ah, January Movies. Unusually for a Jason Statham movie, it's not particularly well paced. Some plotlines handled better than others. Villains/supporting characters aren't particularly interesting (hi, Bunk!). Jennifer Lopez's role is pretty understated and she doesn't really factor in until late in the film. Decent use of the main location. Without Statham this would be a bland disaster, but he elevates it to watchable. (His fake Texas accent is hilarious)

Birkaç iyi artısı olmasına rağmen tahminimce Statham hayranlarının bile evde arkadaşlarıyla birlikte "Jason Statham günü" yapalım dediklerinde akıllarına gelen ilk 5 filmden biri olmayacaktır "Parker." Belki Lopez'in kalçasına göz atmak için bir ara bakabilirler ama hepsi o kadar!

You have to admire any tepid action movie that stops everything for a few minutes to tour real estate.
