Review of Parker

Parker (2013)
7/10
Love Jason Statham as Parker
3 January 2014
Parker (Jason Statham) is a thief who a code. He does what he says, and he expects others to do the same. So when his new crew try to kill him for his take, he is obligated to take them on even though they are connected to a big Chicago mobster. The crew's next target is a big take in Palm Beach, Florida. Parker goes to take his revenge with the help of a local real estate agent Leslie Rodgers (Jennifer Lopez).

I love Jason Statham as Parker. I like this character for him. He isn't a strictly good guy. He does questionable things all the time. I even like Jennifer Lopez. She's not just some sexpot. There is an actual character here. The crew is led by Michael Chiklis and includes Clifton Collins Jr. They are all great actors.

The missing element is a better caper. When the country fair happened, I thought it has a good feel to it. The Florida caper seems too much like the Oceans series. It is not the same. There are questionable logistics happening. It takes away from the reality of the movie.
