Critics Consensus

Jason Statham is game as usual, but Parker is a thoroughly generic and convoluted heist movie.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Poor J-Lo: there was a time when she co-starred with George Clooney, but 15 years on from Out Of Sight she's just a third wheel in this uninspired vengeance caper wherein The Stath is shafted by the Mob and vows payback. Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times We like you, Jason. You're perfectly acceptable in near-silent, pseudo-Asian action nonsense. But you, sir, are no Lee Marvin. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Works well enough to prove [Statham] has more than physically demanding stunts in him. Rated: 3/5 Mar 8, 2013 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a padded-out endeavor that fares quite well in its opening and closing stretches but strains to sustain one’s interest in its convoluted midsection... Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's not overly violent, exploitive, gratuitous, or edgy in any manner and the story is severely lacking creativity. Rated: 2/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com John J. McLaughlin's script is laughably bad. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Ben Chow S "Work smart and not hard" that's these scammers' slogan. They lure you with promises of luxury and lifetime riches without you doing anything besides investing in their investment schemes, and if you ever fall prey, they will siphon you of every penny dry. I fell their victim however was fortunate to be helped by the best recovery expert on Telegram: @Cybergeniehackpro Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Mary H Plug your nose this stinks! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Diana M Parker is a professional thief who lives by his own code of honor. "I don't steal from anyone who can't afford it, and I don't hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it." - Parker Now Parker's friend and mentor, Hurley sends him on a job with a crew he does not know. The job is successful but the crew double-crosses Parker, shoots him and leaves him for dead on the side of the road. But Parker is still alive... and he is set on some major pay back. He learns that the crew is in Palm Beach, Florida planning a huge jewel heist. So Parker poses as a Texas millionaire and hires a local Real Estate agent, Leslie to help him track the crew down. Well Leslie unknowingly is helping Parker... and she does find the house they bought and are using as a base and hideout. But when the crew hires a hitman to kill Parker, he must turn to and trust Leslie for help. Together they form a very unlikely alliance to take down the double-crossing thugs. I like Parker. It is a really good fast paced, action/thriller revenge movie with Jason Statham doing what he does best, Kicking Butt! Jennifer Lopez is also really good as the clueless real estate agent. Fun and entertaining popcorn movie. Cast - Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Nolte Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
