Customer Ratings & Reviews

NOWADAYS, this is my favorite crime-thriller genre of "starring-Jennifer Lopez" films! In "PARKER" (2013) Jennifer Lopez is sharing the lead with Jason Statham in a "comedic"-crime-thriller. Jason Statham is just naturally, innately "slightly comedic," without him even trying! ("PARKER" is a slightly comedic, quasi-crime-thriller, maybe "comedy-speaking," this is more like her work in the early 1995 film, "MONEY TRAIN," with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.) I like "PARKER" here in 2019, because it has a very nice interesting unique skillful-acting cohesiveness to it! The two actors have an unique and interesting connectivity-chemistry that is "captured on celluloid!" But, MOST OF ALL, she has matured massively as a good (fine) actress since OUT-OF-SIGHT, 20 years ago! For me, Jennifer Lopez is very pleasant, (and extemely enjoyable here) to watch as an beautiful, charismatic actress in her role in PARKER, more than in any of her other crime-thriller films. Three other good films in this crime-thriller genre starring Jennifer Lopez come to mind. They are all pre-2000, which makes them sort-of-dated, "socially," NOW. This word, "datedness," I am referring to here in my writing is: "PERHAPS 'datedness' is akin-like to a 1950's Glenn Ford Film-Noir-crime-thriller-genre-of-Movies type of 'datedness.' [Still, I love most all of Glenn Ford Movies!] I am here referring strictly to a socio-description of criminal-and-law-enforcement-activity as reflected in the chronological history of making-movies. AND Even THAT movie-making culture does change, along with the social changes in society! I think "PARKER (2013)" demonstrates very well the flavor and timber of a more current milieu of film-making and even today's (2019) social culture, maybe even a more current pseudo-Zeitgeist that we're passing through from ~2007-to-2019! The magic of Jennifer Lopez is that in each of her crime-thrillers she presents at least a different chemistry-coagulation of character-acting with different excellent-actors/leading men. 1. BLOOD AND WINE, with Jack Nicholson (1996). 2. U-TURN, with Sean Penn (1997), directed by the very talented Oliver Stone and, 3. OUT OF SIGHT, with George Clooney (1998). Of these above four, U-TURN is probably the most gripping and most-5-star-rating. AFTER that comes, OUT-OF-SIGHT, as her top two crime-thriller films. Both 20+years ago. BUT, PARKER (2013) has a well-coagulated, more-recent, more "modern" chemistry between Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez that is as unique as both Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham are UNIQUE and so-INDIVIDUAL! Furthermore, "PARKER" is a comedic-mildly-flavored crime-thriller (a la a humorous Robin Hood & Maid Marion slightly-far-removed). This influence depicted in "PARKER" is unlike the relatively heavily drama-laden crime thrillers she starred in circa 20+ years ago in the 4 films that come to my mind above! [There is also a 5th excellent film made slightly later than 2000. It is the very excellent "ENOUGH" (2002) with gravitas-leading man, BILL CAMPBELL (in another of his excellent performances as an actor). "ENOUGH" ALSO fits in that earlier heavily-drama-laden crime-thriller category. And there are many more others, too. She has done so many crime-thrillers!] 'Nuff said as a review of "PARKER (2013)," "crime-thriller!"

Parker is a tense crime thriller with plenty of action. it won't disappoint fans of Jason Statham and it is well worth the purchase price. There are 5 special features that are both entertaining and worth watching. Three of them investigate Parker, the title character.

PARKER STARRING JASON STATHAM DELIVERS FAST ACTION AND EDGE OF YOUR SEAT ACTION. IT ALSO HAS A GREAT SUPPORTING CAST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Parker exists in 29 stories written by Donald E. Westlake incase your interested. The character is pretty impressive in that he has his code and he abides by it. Statham plays him very straight (unlike Mel Gibson's take in Payback). The story sets it's self up for a big job in the beginning that falls apart after the band of thief's that Parker works with decided to give him two options after their mediocre heist. Parker being the resourceful guy he is skillfully gets back on his feet after being crossed. So the majority of the movie is nothing more than a big set up (similar to Tomas Jane's Punisher) where Parker gets help from a real state woman (Ja Lo). In the process he runs into a hitman which led to one of the better fight scenes I've seen in awhile. In the end Parker gets what he wants (mostly in the way he planed on it) all while sticking to his code.

this is a great movie to add to your movie collection, is a non stop action .. I give it 5 starts

Jason did a job well done. His supporting cast was great as well

Love the movie. Great action. Love the Jason Statham movies.

I love the Parker series. I read them in Jr and Sr High and adored them. When Mel Gibson was signed on to be Parker, I was hyped. They then changed his name, added in stupid subplots and a bunch of stuff I didn't like. I hated Payback for the most part, until I heard about the workprint version. It was Parker, with a different name. They finally released that as Parker: Straight Out Director's Cut, and all was somewhat right. We had a Parker movie. But I wanted more. Enter Jason Statham as Parker. Most people see this as yet another Transporter film, but this was now a true Parker movie. He was sincere, he was brutal, he was out to get what was owed to him, and nothing more. Being an adaptation of Flashfire didn't matter: This was Parker!!! If you are a fan at all of the Parker series, get this. It is a solid Parker adaptation through and through, English accent and all. The supporting cast is great, as is it's being true to the Parker feel as a whole. Highly recommended.

not fan of jlo but jason statham movies are usually entertaining so gave this move a shot...reluctantly. i have to say she wasnt bad in the movie and it was quite entertaining. of course the story is a little unbelievable but kinda par for the course for a statham movie. i always say jason statham movies definitely have a ceiling, meaning you cant expect to be awed but the floor is always solid and entertaining. when you rent or stream movies, your usually more concerned about the floor than the ceiling. didnt expect much from this movie and it was pretty good.

Good movie. Couldn't really hard JS as a Texan but I like him and Jennifer so it made for a good evening and recommend it to others who want a good Wednesday or Thursday action movie you've seen before but want to review again

I love Jason Statham films because he can deliver the kind of action that martial arts fans like myself want. It's a great action film and Jennifer Lopez's performance was good for comedic relief. Other reviews were mostly negative only because the film really didn't adapt to the book. If you're looking for an oscar winning performance, then look elsewhere.

Delightful action thriller of a guy flick. Jason Statham carries the action well in a role he has perfected - the ferocious loner warrior navigating the razor edge of the law while remaining true to his own morality. Bring on the popcorn!

I love Statham movies. He’s definitely made better ones, but this was still a good watch.

First of all I love the character Jason played.he was a great person for the part.there was no complication with the DVD .why I say this is because one time I bought a dis at best buy and I had problem with the dis being scratch and had to bring it back,but in this one no problem at all.i couldn't move for so much drama going on. Jennifer play her character very well

This isn't a bad movie but it is a typical heist gone awry with revenge movie. Don't get me wrong, I really like Jason Statham and he does a good job here but it seems more of a "cookie cutter" style film even with Taylor Hackford at the helm. The film contains the usual story and fight sequences seen in many other Stahtam films, nothing too new here. Picture and sound quality are very good but with a minmal amount of extras. There are other Statham movies I would watch again before this one but if you're a die hard fan of his work, you might like this one too.

A reasonably good action thriller. I always enjoy a Jason Statham movie including co-stars J Lo, Michael Chiklis and Nick Nolte. I always wish I was as agile as he is.

GREAT JASON STATHAM MOVIE. ALSO CO-STARS JENNIFER LOPEZ AND NICK NOLTE, WHO BOTH DID A GOOD JOB BUT EVERYONE ELSE SUCKED. REAL GOOD FIGHT SCENES PLUS A MORALLY GOOD ENDING.

I would tell ever one to see the movie and buy the movie very good movie.the movie is very fast moving of a movie ,it's over befor you know that's how good the movie is

Pretty much what one would expect from a Jason Statham movie. Not any great story or plot line but lots of action. Well worth spending 6 bucks on.

It was an entertaining movie but not one of his best.
