I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

ParkerWhat starts out to be yet another bland but entertaining Statham actioner, soon descends into a real borefest. Jason Statham is one of those actors that you could watch attempting to make paint dry. However in Parker not even Statham's abundance of charisma can keep this movie about a left for dead thief out to get revenge seem interesting.Sharing top billing is Jennifer Lopez who adds nothing to this tedious movie other than flashing a little flesh. In fact it's probably where her character is introduced that's where the film begins to descend. In all fairness this is nothing to do with her performance yet the films slow pace. With a runtime of 1 hr 58 mins I forget just when Miss Lopez actually makes her first appearance. It was well into the movie and by then I had lost all investment in proceedings.Not even the action has any memorable scenes. Odd for such a action legend like Mr Statham. His fight scene with Martial arts movie veteran Daniel Bernhardt is lame and not to both actors usual standards. Couple this with Parker's seeming invincibility and the movie can't even be considered to be mildly believable. The guy gets dumped from a fast moving vehicle, shot multiple times, stabbed in the chest and hand, punched, kicked, thrown around like a rag doll and he doesn't so much as faint from copious amounts of blood loss. Eventually I just gave up on this movie and turned it off. I consider myself to be a Jason Statham fan but my interest just bled out.With a strong support including Nick Nolte, Clifton Collins Jr, Michael Chiklis and Glitch's Emma Booth you'd think something special could have developed here. Unfortunately this one won't stay in the memory banks for twenty four hours. In fact the only thing that may haunt me from this movie is Statham's hilarious Texas accent!

Jason Statham's this action-crime was really good to watch. With good storyline, Action sequences, Crime, Drama, Romance, Thriller, Betrayal this movie is a one time watch. This movie is not watchable with your family. The movie collected 46.2 million worldwide among the budget of 35 million with the verdict of Below Average.

Parker is a movie with a simple revenge driven plot about a thief- with-codes named Parker (Statham). The movie opens with Parker doing a job with a five-man crew who he doesn't know. The job goes well, but the other gangsters double-cross Parker and leave him for dead. Parker barely survives, and with the help of real-estate agent Leslie Rogers (Lopez) he makes it his mission to get back to them. Anyone familiar with Jason Statham starred movies knows not to expect much but there's usually decent action, funny one liners and spectacular car chases. Unfortunately, this movie has none of that. We get an incredible boring movie that is to long where nothing happens between the opening and ending scene. We get Statham going 'undercover' as a rich Texan (with the worst fake accent ever) to buy real- estate, just to force Jenifer Lopez character into the movie. It is pointless when he can also just go over to his former crime buddies place and blast them all apart. I'm of the opinion that Jenifer Lopez is not a good actress and this movie is no exception to that opinion. She is just horrible and her character makes absolutely no sense to be in this movie. My final complaint is the ridiculous amounts of damage Statham's character get's to endure that he can just shake off. He get's thrown out of a car driving at least 80 km/h while he is shot multiple times, and still lives! Even Arnold's Terminator had trouble recovering from that amount of damage. Watch Blitz or Killer Elite instead if your in for an evening of mindless entertaining with Statham and avoid this boring slug-fest like the plague.

The storyline in "Parker" was adequate, but it was a bit too ordinary and mundane, and something that has been done too many times, and that is what ultimately made the movie mediocre.The story is about a heist gone awry and the mind behind it is betrayed by his fellow criminals. Leaving Parker behind for dead, the gang moves on to their next big heist. But Parker is not dead, and no one double-crosses Parker and walks away.The action sequences were good, but they couldn't pull up the mediocre storyline. And as such, this wasn't one of Jason Statham's better movies.As for the acting, well it was good. And Michael Chiklis delivered a good performance alongside Jason Statham. I can't claim to find Jennifer Lopez to be a talented actress, so casting her for this movie was beyond my comprehension. There are far better female talents who could have delivered so much more to the movie by having a knack for acting."Parker" is a good enough action movie, just weighed down by a mediocre plot and storyline. And as far a Statham movie goes, then it was something he could do with his eyes closed.
