Jason Statham stars as "Parker" from 2013, also starring Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte, Bobby Cannavale, Wendell PIerce, Patti Lupone, and Emma Booth.
This is one of those macho films where there is enough blood, shooting, strangulation, knifing, and punching to make five movies. It was relentless. Not to mention the explosions. And we get to see Jennifer Lopez' beautiful body as she has to strip down to prove she's not wearing a wire.
As Parker, Statham survives shootings, knifings, kicking, punching, and enough blood loss to fill a blood bank and just keeps on going. As part of a successful robbery, he just wants to take his cut and go. But the head of the team, Melander (Chiklis) has another idea. He wants to invest some of the money in another robbery that is going to bring them millions each instead of a measly $200,000 each.
Parker refuses and shooting begins in the car. He jumps out, landing in the road, and one of the other robbers is sent to kill him. He shoots him, Parker rolls down the hill and manages to live.
After almost strangling someone with a chair, he finds out Melander and his team are in Palm Beach. Posing as a rich Texan, he has a real estate agent Leslie (Lopez) show him some properties, all the time looking for the gang's hideout.
Miserable with her life, Leslie checks "Parmitt" out and finds out he's a complete phony. She tells him she wants in on whatever he's planning.
Good cast, and I enjoyed the last few scenes the most. This is the type of movie where you can just shut off your mind and watch. On that level, it's non-stop action, and you really do pull for Parker.
