Description
Payback has a new name: Flashfire is now a major film - 'Parker' - starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez.
Parker is a thief with a unique code of ethics: Don't steal from people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it. When he is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead, Parker is set on revenge. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist, and put right what they took from him.Reviews
