Why did I want to watch this film? In a word, Jason Statham. Today I decided to rent this film because I was tired and wanted to see some good ole fashion a$$-kicking, and with this movie, that is exactly what I got. Statham, plays Parker, a career criminal who is paired up with a small group of people that hold up a fair and steal all of the money. Of course, you know, it couldn’t be that easy, Parker was double-crossed, beat up, left for dead, and not given his share of the loot. The rest of the film was about revenge. In comes Jennifer Lopez, an unsuccessful if not ambitious real estate worker in West Palm Beach. Parker was staking out the property of the gang he had it out for and need Jenny from the block. She quickly figured out who he really was and decided to assist him with his task. Really? Anyhow, Parker gets his revenge in the end, and it was entertaining. To me, this was a typical Jason Statham film, and this is a good thing. You know what you are here for, you know what you are going to get, and you get it.
