Tweekums Parker is a thief with his own moral code; he won't rob from those who can't afford it and he won't hurt anybody unless he thinks they deserve it… he also does what he says he will do and expects the same of others. His father in law sets him up with a reputable crew to rob the Ohio State Fair; things don't quite go according to plan and afterwards this crew tell Parker that they intend to use their million dollar haul to fund their next job. Parker wants out so they shoot him and leave him for dead. Of course he isn't dead and he is soon on their trail; he intends to find them, wait for them to do their robbery then take their spoils before killing them. This takes him to Palm Beach, Florida, where he poses as a wealthy Texan looking to buy property. Estate agent Leslie Rodgers shows him a variety of properties including some that have recently sold… one particularly interests him and sure enough it is the one the gang are using as their base. When it becomes clear that Parker is alive the gang's mob connections send a killer to deal with him.If you are looking for something deep and meaningful then you are likely to be disappointed but if you want a solid crime caper with Jason Statham doing his thing then this is rather fun. In many ways Parker is like most other characters he plays; tough and almost certain to come out on top even after he has taken a beating. There is plenty of great action and a few shocking moments; most notably when Parker gets a knife through his hand. Jennifer Lopez does a decent job as Leslie; it made a refreshing change that at no point did was there any romance between the two leads. The rest of the cast were solid enough; especially Michael Chiklis who was believably menacing as the chief antagonist. Overall I'd say this is well worth watching if you are a fan of Jason Statham or enjoy the genre.

Paul Magne Haakonsen 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.

carbuff Jason Statham is type cast for a good reason. He has a limited acting range and unfortunately he tries to stretch it a little too far in this film. I was looking forward to a typical Statham film, and this is not really that bad, but it's messed up some by Statham attempting to reach depths of character that are beyond him. "A man's got to know his limitations," and Statham usually does, but not quite here. Jennifer Lopez is another big letdown. She couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag. Also, jeez, when she whines about the obnoxious behavior of the spoiled mega-rich it's just too much, given that she herself in real life is very well known for being utterly insufferable and bizarrely demanding. (These complaints voiced from her character make it hard to sustain any suspension of disbelief. Maybe her unconvincing down-to-earth act was supposed to be ironic or meta or something?) On the positive side, Statham is his usual indestructible self and the plot is workable, although there are a lot of holes if one stops to really think about it. Even allowing for all of my grouses, there is probably enough "Statham action" to satisfy all but his most die- hard fans, so this effort squeaks by with a passing grade. Perversely, if this film had tried to be less, it could have been so much more.
