Geek of Oz

Donald E. Westlake, also known under the pseudonym Richard Stark, is responsible for a character who has apparently blossomed into a pop-culture sweetheart in recent years - the hard boiled, remorseless criminal known only as Parker. Probably best known to my fellow geeks from Darwyn Cooke's comic book adaptations through IDW, Parker is back but this time on celluloid starring everyones favourite action hero, Jason Statham. Before delving into the review, I'll admit to having never read the source material so any comment on the physical appearance of the character is purely based on research. That said, this seems to be somewhat of another "Jack Reacher" conundrum.

Based on bestselling novels by Donald E. Westlake, Parker is anti-hero who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don't steal from people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it. Set to punch its way onto your TV screen, PARKER stars Jason Statham as cult anti-hero Parker, and Jennifer Lopez in a gritty ride of non-stop action directed by Academy Award® winner Taylor Hackford (The Devil’s Advocate, Ray).
