Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez star in the action-thriller adapted from Donald Westlake’s crime novel series. Parker played by Statham is a professional thief with his own unique 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 seriously injured. Eager to get revenge, Parker tracks the crew down where he finds them planning their biggest ever raid. In the disguise of an alternative character, Parker takes on an unlikely companion, Leslie played by Jennifer Lopez, who’s short on cash, but very smooth and ambitious. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the heist and kick everyone’s ass.
