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

Jay W "Parker" is a pretty run of the mill Action flick starring Jason Statham. It is far from a prime Statham movie, but it does play all the usual hits. The action gets going pretty early, by about the 10- minute mark we are introduced to the villains, the hero and what he wants to accomplish. Parker is a thief with a heart of gold and a precise moral compass. The actors all do a good job of elevating their material. Nick Nolte, Lopez and of course Statham all put in terrific performances. The action is well helmed, it is shot with clarity and has some clever twists on the action formula. I like the fact that Parker is not invincible. He takes a lot of beatings throughout the story and it does a good job demonstrating how difficult this ordeal has been. The movie loses some steam as it approaches the third act. The way in which Lopez's character is tied into the action feels very forced. It was like the director wanted to have Lopez and Statham to be in the movie together, but the writers couldn't think of a good reason. Nothing special, but if you like Statham action movies, you'll like this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Ariadne M I understand the frustration of losing cryptocurrency.

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.
