Review:

The last movie I watched with Jason Statham was Killer Elite, and I didn't liked it at all. It wasn't the kind a movie I expected from him. But it's a whole different story with Parker. It's filled with action, which is why we watch his movies. Statham as Parker is as good as expected, J. Lopez is great, as is M. Chiklis. The story is good (nothing spectacular), but it works. So if you are a Jason Statham fan Parker is a must see.

Rating: 6.5/10
