#118 - Parker (2013)

"What starts as your typical Statham action affair slowly devolves into a messy, and incoherent mess of a story. 

Lopez is shoehorned into the film and it makes no sense why she needs to be in this at all, the second act turning into damage control as it desperately tries to link its meandering plot threads with absolutely zero finesse. The exposition is weak with too much plot convenience occurring throughout, it's almost as if the script writer gave up halfway through and let a poorly programmed AI finish it. 

The editing is amateur, with cheap dissolves being used numerous time to end stodgy scenes, the action often grinding to a halt to explore another ludicrous plot extension"
