Parker (2013; Taylor Hackford / John J McLaughlin)

This has all the ingredients of a shit movie - well, let's be honest, it is a shit movie - but yet I found this kept my interest much more than I expected.

It's got nothing on the very entertaining Safe, it's got more money than The Mechanic, and it has a story and character that was sorely lacking from The Killer Elite.

Is it that Jason Statham is watchable, terrible accents and all?  Is it that I've missed Jennifer Lopez so much since Out of Sight, that I was forgiving as heck?  I dunno.  I'm an hour in and my brain hasn't gone Please make it fucking stop like it did with a couple of other titles I've tried to watch recently.

Good story is where you find it, perhaps?
