Very best movie i ever watch

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There are so many Jason statham action films out there that it is crazy, this guy will always have a steady paycheck and that is credit to him. I have just watched Parker and this is one of the more forgettable films he has done for sure. The premise of the film sees a thief with a code betrayed and left for dead, do he has to go after the ones who turned on him. Now Jason statham was okay in this movie because he played the same character that he does in everything so it works in this film. But his character has this code and he just ignores it for the majority of the movie and I just don't understand why you're really meant to root for this guy that much as he isn't shown to be a good person. On the positives Michael chiklis is actually quite entertaining in his role and you can tell he is having fun in this role. But everybody else is just so boring, Jennifer Lopez is a one dimensional character that is as cliché as you can get, same could be said for Bobby canavalle's character and I could barely understand nick nolte half the time he was on screen. The story should have been a simple one of a revenge thriller but it tries to be too much and introduce other plot elements that you just don't care about or want to see in this movie. By the time the film focuses up you will have lost interest in what is going on. The script surprisingly had some decent humour in it, and some one liners that actually worked because of what type of film this is. But the dram is awful, I didn't care when I was supposed to and it hurts the film as it leads to you not really rooting for the characters. The style has some pretty brutal action scenes in it and I liked some of the heist elements of the film. Though I noticed that the editing of some of the fights was really jarring and hard to follow as it cuts so many times. Also the pacing of this film is not good, I would have preferred it to have been easily 15/20 minutes shorter then what it was. Overall safe is another statham movie but unless you are a huge fan of his I reckon this is one to ignore.

It is an Action pic, so good action, fun one-liners, and you are pulling for the good bad guys instead of the bad bad guys all the way.I've wasted so many hours watching movies that cost so much more to make and came with gushing reviews and were garbage, so when this one turned out to be unassuming, likable and fun, I was happily surprised.Also, silky and sexy performance from Emma Booth, and Lopez is fantastic in her role too. Statham does his thing, but it is the actors around him that have to give what he does credibility.One of those films that when you think back on it, might not be as shallow as you first thought.

If Jason Statham has been stuck in one-dimensional roles, he's not going to make any breakthrough at Parker, despite having southern accent and hair at the first scene. A bit of action, more of heist thriller, Parker is overly long and awkwardly paced. Fight scenes are sparse, for those who hope for high octane skull mashing, this probably won't meet such expectation. Addition of Jennifer Lopez adds some light humorous touches, warranting her appearance more than just an eye candy.Parker (Jason Statham) is a man betrayed by his teammate after completing an almost botched heist, he was shot and left to death. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't die and vows revenge instead. Most of the movie is cat-and-mouse plots as he chases them across countries in not so exciting pace. There are a couple of fights in between, although the amount feels lacking for a movie led by Jason. For these few scenes, they are done quite well. Unbarred bone breaking punches, kicks and other assortments of nearby potential weapon swinging are viscerally entertaining.The rest is a bare heist plot, which really won't hold a candle compare to more cerebral crime action movies. Pacing is undeniably slow, most of the things happening on-screen, even some with both leads appearing, are somewhat lackluster. The movie has about two hours in length and frankly with this long dragging set-up, one might expect some clever scheme building up towards the end, but it is not so. Without spoiling anything, the pace is equally stale from start to finish.Jason Statham bring his usual screen presence, he's a rugged, honor bound thief who keeps his principles religiously. When he threatens or hurts someone, he does so very earnestly, at that regard, he fulfills his role. However, there's little difference from other Statham's movies. Jennifer Lopez as Leslie is actually quite good. For someone who has superstar fame, she acts as poor people convincingly. There are modesty and honesty when she appears as well, making her likable to the audience, aside for her popularly known hind allure.The two leading actors do their parts well, however the script and direction are mediocre. Parker is a bland movie, which has brief excitements across its lengthy run, albeit barely enough for the whole.

Parker is set in a 1970's profession criminal genre aka Charles Bronson style. Statham is typecast-ed like Bronson in a professional criminal role. Strong, silent, intense with a soft spot for the right people. I believe we will not be seeing Statham in a comedy or romance! Parker's story is interesting in the beginning with the character development robbery, and ends strongly with another robbery/revenge conclusion. Regrettably, Parker's story falters with the Jennifer Lopez character. Why would Parker trust the character, which disjoints the story. I thought Lopez's cop friend would create a interesting plot twist, which never developed. The action scenes, and acting was good, but the director lost the feel and energy for Parker with little character development. Compared to Porter in Payback or Driver in The Driver, Parker is missing the synergy of strong characters intermixed with the movie's story. Parker reminds me of the one of those 1970s Charles Bronson films (Mr Majestic) which is more formulated and loses movie chemistry in the process. Six out of ten.
