Parker (2013) 6/10

Starring : Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Nolte
Director : Taylor Hackford
Running Time : 119 mins

Honourable thief Parker (Statham) is left for dead by a gang of mobsters, but when he survives the attack he vows to take revenge on them. He discovers where they are located and uses estate agent Leslie Rogers (Lopez) to help him look around the area to discover their exact location.

This movie took a long time to get going in my opinion, with the introduction of Lopez almost an hour in. Statham isn’t particularly good in the title role, and the villains were pretty one-dimensional. Fans of standard thrillers would do better looking elsewhere for their thrills as this is something of a disappointing effort.
