Watch Parker For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Purely Joyful Movie!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Brilliant and touching

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!

A thief with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist. Parker is definitely not one of Jason Statham's best films and it has it's fair share of problems especially Michael Chiklis as the villain was kind of a letdown, Jennifer Lopez was fine i guess although she wasn't that much needed to be in here but she did pretty good and as a whole this is a watchable action flick that's all. (7/10)

Parker (2013) did have the potential to be a better film than it turned out to be. I watched this movie because I am a Jennifer Lopez fan and I liked the sound of the plot. The casting was done well, I enjoyed Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham in the starring roles. Both Statham and Lopez portrayed their roles well, Of course for Statham this kind of role isn't anything out of the ordinary, or something he isn't familiar with. Lopez doesn't normally play these types of roles, but she did well with it none the less. The action sequences are pretty run of the mill and what you would expect, nothing new on that front. The plot is alright, kind of the same thing as the action scenes. Script is good at times and kinda lackluster at other times. The movie also seems sort of disjointed sometimes, moving slowly and losing the audiences attention. That is always very bad, maybe even the worst thing for an action film. It's not like that the entire runtime, but the times when it is that way makes you feel like you want to fast forward. 5/10 for Parker.

...then it's beginning to feel like you've seen them all. I like Statham's films. They don't try to be Oscar winning deep dramas; they simply give you action, a few fight scenes and the odd car chase. You know what you're getting and he normally delivers. However, if you look at his last few films, you may well start to see the formula repeating itself a little too much.'Parker' follows the formula pretty closely. Statham + a doublecrosss = seeks revenge (fights and car chases included). And this time he's practically more indestructible than he is in Crank. You may have to suspend your disbelief on a regular basis to fully appreciate this film.Plus you have J-Lo thrown into the mix as a - sort of - love interest for him. Some people hate he being included and, although I'm not a fan, I have to say that I didn't find her character as annoying as I find her in real life. She plays the 'feisty damsel' pretty well, i.e. someone who needs rescuing from time to time, but, at the same time, can hold her own in a room full of baddies.Basically, if you've seen one of Statham's recent films, then you've sort of seen this. It's not as good as (the first two) Transporter films, but it is better than some of his last ones. If you like his stuff, then you'll probably enjoy this. It's not a flop, but it's nothing too original either.
