    Parker
    Movie Blurb by Shale
    January 25, 2013

    No honor among thieves! Well, yes and no. This movie shows the low-life thieves with no honor and it shows Parker (Jason Statham) a thief with a moral compass.

    Parker steals but only from ppl who can afford the loss. And he really cares about ppl, tries not to hurt innocents. But of course due to the nature of his business he falls in with unsavory ppl without his sense of ethics. (No not elected politicians in Washington).

    He is hooked up with a crew for a heist at a county fair where he poses as a priest. Afterward, Melander (Michael Chiklis) and the rest of the crew get into a disagreement with Parker and attempt to kill him. After jumping out of a speeding car in a gunfight he is left on the side of the road for dead. (but you know he ain't)

    After mending he goes looking for the gang to get his money back and take them out for trying to rob and kill him. (His moral compass points in both directions). This is where he runs into Leslie (Jennifer Lopez) a desperate realtor trying to get her first commission and for a small cut, will be his guide to Palm Beach. She even hangs on when she learns that Parker plans to rip off the gang after they rip off some jewels and then kill them.

    This was a very entertaining action flick and Jason Statham has real appeal as a tuf bad guy with decency.

    I've read a couple of positive reviews about this latest incarnation of the Parker character. I likely won't get to see it until it comes to cable though.
