	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Parker' is nonetheless great fun. It is part of a welcome trend, or counter-trend, in action filmmaking, an effort to strip away the apocalyptic bloat and digital fakery that have overtaken the genre"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"'Parker' is watchable chiefly for Statham, who exudes effortless cool and excels in hand-to-hand combat, as well as demonstrating his skill at wielding some very unlikely weapons (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"It's another middling effort in which [Statham's] undeniable presence is unable to elevate the usual mixture of convoluted plotting and grisly carnage (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"The picture is far from great, but it's a serviceable B-movie with some A-list talent on a slumming expedition"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Proceedings remain broadly uninteresting (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Crisp and efficient, with the occasional clunky moments, 'Parker' also shows off Jennifer Lopez (literally) to good effect"	POS
United States	Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"All the principal figures involved in this generic action thriller seem like they're phoning it in"	NEG
