Just heard from Empire's website that Jaon Statham who in films never seems too far away from fast cars, gunfight's at the OK Caral, women and martial arts. these films I'm thinking of are: 'Transporter 1,2,3', 'Crank', 'Volver' (one he did with Guy Ritchie who went through a phase of trying to remake another 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', but it never worked), 'Chaos' etc,etc,etc.
However, his new film that he has locked himself into is callled, wait for it....'Parker', this is suppose to be a thriller but somehow I can't see the film being that scary with Jason Statham in it. The story is that 'Parker' is a thief that at times regrets that his actions lead him to sometimes kill. Boo Hoo! Poor old little thief, I think the writers have probably shot themselves in the foot a bit with this as if the thief regrets doing what he does why does he insist on still being a thief. This shooting themselves in the foot does remind me of 'The Tourist' as the police were going after Johnny Depp's character 'Alexander,' but no one had seen what this guy looked like but were going on a sketch drawing that someone made as a guess of what he looked like.
However though this thief does have some ethics and rules that he lives by. These ethics are that he never steals from people who need money. Oh and if anyone crosses Parker that is a big mistake. To me this smells pretty much like a 'Transporter' film but under a different title. So if Jason wanted to move away from his usual film roles this isn't it.
