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.

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.

This was pretty good, especially if you're a Jason Statham fan and just sit back and enjoy the ride. It was actually better than I was expecting in some respects since I wasn't to keen on the whole Jennifer Lopez aspect going in but she plays a desperate, past her prime sort of character and thankfully not a love interest, so that worked for me.Not as many flashy fight scenes from Statham here but still enough good ones with unique aspects (knife through hand, chair to trachea, dive out car window) to keep me more than interested. He gets beat up real bad a couple of times here with a serious amount of bloodshed.I also had to laugh at his attempt at being a Texan, yeah the accent was terrible but I think it was meant to be.Statham is a professional thief here, an anti-hero with a unique code of ethics who is double-crossed and left for dead by his former partners, then spends the remainder of the movie seeking revenge (and to hijack the crew's latest heist) while getting help from a real estate agent (Jennifer Lopez).This was kind of a long movie, going to multiple directions and several locations, and with a plot that wasn't as predictable as most action/ revenge thrillers tend to be, so I enjoyed those aspects. Nick Nolte plays a small role as Parkers girlfriend's dad, a career criminal, and the band of bad guys was atypical but still decent and entertaining for antagonists. I liked the opening heist scene at the fair, where Parker is a priest (he dons several different disguises in this) which was amusing. 3/22/15

It's just another mediocre thriller with Jason Statham, lots of action, fast paced, yet lacking essence and believable story, it doesn't make you care enough for whats going on. I didn't finish watching the movie, because I sort of understood how it will go, I guess it can entertain you for 2 hours if you have low expectations and play the movie just for the heck of it, but expecting some big thrill from this is just out of the question, its instant entertainment lasting no more than it plays, the moment it ends, it will fade away in your mind.Jason plays out his usual self, tough guy, fighter, the rest of cast did an OK job, apart from Michael Chiklis who's acting skills were really unsatisfactory.5/10
