Review of Parker

Parker (2013)
7/10
Ethics and Action, but Mostly Action
8 June 2013
I really enjoyed the movie. It was full of action, excitement, martial arts, fighting, explosions, bad guys, and also had a damsel in distress. Who could ask for anything more?? I also enjoyed the one-on-one scenes Jason had with Jennifer Lopez. If his character was not already involved with Claire, he would have easily began a romance with Jennifer. But being the ethical man that he was, he did not want to cheat. That is what I really call a hero.

The movie stars Jason Statham so everyone knows the type of characters that he portrays....a guy which draws down action, action, shooting, guns, martial arts, more guns, explosions, fighting, and chase scenes. The movie won't win an Oscar, but who really cares, it was a movie that entertained and kept its audience awake.

The movie also had a soft side to it. Here was a man who was a very highly-skilled criminal, but he did not want anyone to be harmed. He was upset when the fire at the Ohio State Fair was not set according to plan. He wanted to use his portion of the money from the take to simply disappear. And of course, his partners had to get greedy. Not good. However, as expected, it worked out in the end for Jason.

Why are some reviewers moaning about the movie, when they knew what they were going to get whenever they see the name Jason Statham?? Enjoy the movie for what it is, exciting entertainment.
