Okay. I know I am a bit late on this one. It has already been in theatres for a month, but I am trying out some new software for posting these, and Parker was as good as any recent movie to try it on.
I hope you like my new format, which gives additional stories and news behind the movie. Just scroll down past the trailer to see additional news.
By the way … ever noticed how often movies repeat themes? Bad guy gets double-crossed by his own crew, left for dead. Bad guy recovers, links up with a gal, comes after former friends. Where have we seen that before? For one, Mel Gibson in Payback. You know any others? Leave a comment.

Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez team up to get their cut in the crime thriller, PARKER, based on the series of bestselling novels by Donald E. Westlake.
Parker (Jason Statham) is a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead.
Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to PalmBeach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider, who’s short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean.
