Pakeriran

A professional thief, Parker, is double-crossed by his crew after a heist and left for dead. Seeking revenge, he assumes a new identity and plans to steal the thieves' next score, a lucrative diamond smuggling operation. He enlists the help of a reluctant real estate broker in Palm Beach to help him track down his former associates and reclaim what is rightfully his.

Parker received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who often cited its derivative plot and uninspired action sequences. While Jason Statham's performance as the titular character was generally seen as fitting for the role, the film failed to impress with its originality or compelling narrative. Audience reception was also lukewarm, with many finding it to be a serviceable but forgettable action flick.

• A by-the-numbers revenge thriller that offers little new to the genre.

• Jason Statham is in his element, but the film relies too heavily on familiar tropes.

• Lacks the tension and excitement to stand out among similar crime films.

Google audience: Audience reviews generally found the film to be an average action movie with a predictable plot.
