Sounds like a recipe for success to me! The Parker novels by legendary crime writer Donald Westlake (writing under the pen name Richard Stark) are some of the most satisfying tales of crime ever recorded. The titular character is a cold, efficient career criminal who will do anything to finish a job. So who better to play him than Jason Statham, one of the best action actors in the game today? Parker is shaping up to be a tight, violent little thriller. Oh, and Jennifer Lopez takes her clothes off in it, which is the cherry on top of the sundae. Parker opens January 25, 2013.
