Director Taylor Hackford’s new crime thriller flick Parker, based upon the writings of Donald E. Westlake, is shaping up to be more than the standard shoot-em up action fare. Jason Statham plays the titular character, who’s an honorable thief with something of a Robin Hood philosophy. Things go awry when after a lucrative job, his crew decide to double cross him with the treacherous Melander (The Shield‘s Michael Chiklis) leading the charge.
Parker tracks down his ex-partners to Palm Beach, where they’re planning the heist of a lifetime, but in order to turn the tables, he has to join forces with a street-smart and sexy insider named Leslie (Jennifer Lopez).
In the promos, Statham dons a few disguises for his heists which include a grey haired priest and a ‘cockney’ Texan. Catch the latest trailer plus go behind the scenes with this new featurette.
Parker opens January 25th, 2013.
