    Excellent Action Movie

    January-February 2013 shows promise of being Nirvana for fans of action movies. We have new movies by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Wahlberg and a new "Die Hard" picture to look forward to. "Parker" sets the bar pretty high in terms of plot, dialogue and casting. I love a good revenge movie and this movie evokes memories of Lee Marvin's "Point Blank" and Mel Gibson's "Payback". Jason Statham plays it straight and brutal as the "good" criminal (he only steals from those who can afford it and doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't try to hurt him) who seeks to avenge himself against his former partners who double crossed him. Mr. Statham has become a reliable action star who consistently satisfies his audience. And like Bruce Willis, his characters get tired, hurt and bloody when shot, stabbed or otherwise attacked by his opponents. Jennifer Lopez does a good job in a supporting role that complements Statham's character. Her scenes with her mother are priceless.

    ACTION-PACKED, GORY TALE OF REVENGE. NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED.

    Never having read the Richard Stark novels (pseudonym of Donald E. Westlake); a neophyte, totally ignorant of the protagonist and his exploits, it was stunningly shocking that ?Parker? (stoically handsome Jason Statham) was an untoward character, a criminal with ethics, a pugnacious, tenacious, terrifying personage when doubled-crossed; hence, the fast-paced, pungently gory scenario, revolving around Parker?s revenge and his unique code of morality...
    Sprinkled with a dragnet of smarmy villains, primarily mendacious ?Melander? (Michael Chiklis, ?Vegas? is riveting, mesmerizing in the role); and innocent, but sagacious ?Leslie? (a surprisingly genuine portrayal by Jennifer Lopez) who is the foil; woeful, struggling Palm Beach real estate agent, implementing Parker?s chimerical plan...
    THREE STARS!!!

    Jenny out!!!

    I relly liked this movie it had a lot of action and it didnt make me fall asleep, the only thing that I didnt like was why they put Jennifer Lopez in it if she didnt do anything, I thought she was going to be his lover but not even that, she didnt help kill anyone she didnt do anything, I think that thet should have made her at least stathams lover

    Great Action Flick

    I always know what to expect from Statham. GREAT Job !! It was not totally "Hollywood ed" out. Most of the action sequences were believable. Kids loved it as did my wife, whom I thought was only going to see Jason.. A Must See.

    Weak characters and waaaay too long.

    by

    Weakest story line and characters I've ever seen in a Jason Stathan action film. The concept of a cross over between a British hunk/martial arts fighter and American trailer trash con just did not work. All the characters lack any spark and fall flat--by the end it didn't matter, to me, if they lived or died. I wasn't really sure when the movie ended but I followed the rest of the auidience leaving the auditorium. This film would truly justify "stealing" a second movie at a multiplex. I have been more invovled, excited and turned on by a electronic store ad I got in the mail than this movie. I've never seen Jenifer L so dull. I don't know if they were trying to make her look unattracive but they did a great job of it. This is one of Jason's bad movies--and I say that with great regret and disapointment. I wanted to like this movie but it was just too boring---cast of dozens shot in dowtown Bush Parie (population 526)..

    Save the planet

    by

    Actually save your money.....it's okay but I can't watch Jennifer Lopez as an actress or singer or anything but overrated. Seen better acting from those rice crispies three. That IS the worst Jason Statham movies I have ever seen and I love me some Jason. Don't waste your time. Wait unil one of your friends to netfix it so you can say you didn't spend a dime on it.

    Cover Your eye

    I went with my Husband he loved it! Jennifer was very good! The movie was very bloody,and I covered my eyes and ears for most of the movie! It was violent but charming. Glad I went I am glad that Jennifer is acting again! There was a bit to much blood but enjoyed the ending!

    Parker

    I was looking forward to this movie because I love Jason Statham. It was really disappointing! Bad script, poor use of he beautiful Jennifer Lopez and silly story lines- the whole movie was a foregone conclusion. All that and ultra-bloody, too. Bummer.

    A MUST SEE - A FANTASTIC MOVIE

    Great, exciting, action packed, great acting by all, well written, great acting, great scenes and setting. I cannot wait for the sequel. Jason delivered, as did Jennifer and all the others. The biggest surprise was Jennifer. I am typically not a fan of hers but her performance in this movie won me over. Jennifer keep making movies like this, you working with Jason is a great team. SEE THIS MOVIE!!

    I thought the movie was great. A little more violence than I like, but I thought the ending was great. He had a purpose and only wanted what was his.

    Great movie

    by

    I loved the movie Parker. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The characters were very interesting to watch. Jason was, as usual, very good. The action scenes were incredible to watch. He gets the tar knocked out of him. I will buy this when it comes out on CD. I have all of his movies, although I haven't as yet seen them all. He keeps on getting better & better and I hope one day he gets the credit he deserves. JLo is also excellent in the film, as is the rest of the cast. I also liked Patti Lupone as JLo's mother. One of the reviews said she was too over the top. I think Ms. Lupone played it perfectly. This is a must see movie for Jason & Jennier's fans.

    Great movie

    by

    This movie is the classic revenge story. Fast paced, and filled with action from top to bottom. I will never let rotten tomatoes dictate wether I watch a movie again because it's just someone's opinion.

    Surprising Entertaining

    Really like jason in this movie. I love his accent and he's not so bad to look at either. Non stop action throughout the entire movie. I don't know why Jennifer Lopez was in it, nor a few other scenes that the movie could have done without, but overall great flick and worth seeing it in the theater. If you are a J-Lo fan, she's barely a character in this flick, but in long enough to show us her stellar curves-Dang, she looks good for her age! Go see this!
