"I don't steal from anyone who can't afford it, and I don't hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it."
Statham is back and he's in the south with J.Lo. Premise isn't too bad, and his southern accent is hilariously bad but I actually got into it. Go in not expecting much depth and some fun action.
It's been a day or two since I watched this but from what I remember, it was a medium-to-medium-rare ("Rare" being the best) Jason Statham flick. Parts of it felt iffy, and I've never EVER been a fan of Jennifer Lopez; she's eye-candy on the big screen and nothing more...and proves it in this flick. But there are some fights and explosions and testosterone-type stuff so yeah, it's worth watching. I still remember the ending, though, so prolly wouldn't watch it twice.
Parker is a typical Statham affair. Not too complex, but not low effort either. Comes off as a violent crime thriller with a little dash of comedy, and ends up as many of Stathams outings...fun but not really memorable.
The acting was mostly decent, and apart from a few things, the story was ok as well. Parker would have been just as good without Jennifer Lopez, though. Not because she was bad, because Lopez was as charming as ever, but the character seemed a bit forced. Especially with the fact that with the code Stathams character lives by, nothing could really have happened between them.
Anyway...there's no need to overanalyze Parker. It is what it is...a decent enough Statham movie. Good for at least one viewing...
A thief gets betrayed by his crew, and then gets revenge. In the end he ends with 75 million worth of jewelry and he shares it with those who helped him along the way. Your standard action film with nothing that is truly memorable.
bad action movie, it seems like a 90's movie but in 2013
Love this movie! A great Stath picture, completely underrated.
Statham Doing What He Does Best - Kick Ass
Action straight forward
A solid movie.
I liked it, just dont like lopez. Someone needs to tell her she cant act.
Nice straightforward action movie.
Too predictable and Jennifer's dress is NOT hot!
