Sex appeal was always her strongest selling point, and the actress playing Claire (or whatever they call her) is a near-unknown. Watch. I am judging Hollywood and the striving for mediocrity that goes on even in the face of a great material and opportunity to do something more, with this film being one more shining example. If you can let go of the preconceptions there is a very good movie here that should bring DEW a big new audience of readers – who can then imagine for themselves who Parker really is. I agree with you on this point, Chris–the books will always stand alone in terms of quality. We know they’ll never be as good. It's not about the money, It's about the principle.

It averages out to roughly 55% across a film’s run, and overseas (where Statham films often make the most money) it’s usually a bit less than that. Tony, your comments make sense to me, especially the marketing of the trailer to Statham’s core fans. |, March 7, 2013 2 years ago | 342 views. If it’s okay to slam the people who make trailers, it’s just as okay to slam the people who make the movies those trailers promote. Mix that with an undeveloped script and the result is a pointless action film that fails. ;). | Rating: 3/5 In the book, it was more like she wanted Parker (but a share of the loot even more), he was ready to kill her without a moment’s qualm if she became a liability, and she had to accept at the end that he wasn’t available–had never been tempted to sleep with her, because he’s not a normal guy. You're perfectly acceptable in near-silent, pseudo-Asian action nonsense. Somehow that’s even worse than the trailer makes it out to be. While Statham isn’t setting the box office on fire at the moment (which is a shame, as I thought Safe wasn’t completely horrible), he’s still easily the most saleable aspect of this film and so it’s no surprise they want the trailer to look like a Jason Statham film. And not a very successful one, but Westlake is one of our favorite writers precisely because he wasn’t content to keep repeating the same formula exactly the same way. His Parker will not be as anyone imagined him. So if your budget is 30mil, your promotion is 10mil, you need to make around 80mil, just to break even. It looks like an enjoyable movie, and I hope it does well. I was wrong–the film’s budget was 30 million.

Which for all I know is horribly maligned, since I have never seen it, and probably never will. Certainly not this type of movie. Period would be the only way to go. He says it’s a lot of fun and gives it a grade of B+. No Country for Old Men? Dishonest, you say? :[. The Parker novels are not even the kind of stories that Hollywood likes to film anymore. There will be not set of hitmen that put Parker in the hospital, but rather the people he works with at the beginning rough him up, so that subplot’s out. It may not even please me. A lot of you are going to be disappointed. I don’t see them spending huge money, but certainly at least 10mil, which combined with the budget, and factoring in the studio getting maybe half the worldwide gross–do the math. That’s not really a code of ethics, as I see it–it’s just something inherent to him. It looks like a fun action flick. If your film’s best moments are, say, long dialogue scenes or tense stand-offs or complex character moments (and I’m not saying Parker has them), then that’s not going to come across in the trailer. I think it would be really hard to make a straight film adaptation work, but there’s a hit cable series about a heroic serial killer. But just as there is a pretty good supporting cast on hand; Wendell Pierce gets to do too little and Jennifer Lopez way too much.

I’ll have to inform him the dude on the screen is definitely NOT Parker, and we’ll just have to look at it like any other shoot-’em-up. But when you look at the Harry Potter films (and I’m not a fan of that franchise), or the Lord of the Rings movies, or a host of other things, what you see is that Hollywood usually gets a lot more out of the exchange than the books do. To this day, the only Parker adaptation that doesn’t feel the need to justify or explain him is “Point Blank.” Which we should remember was a flop at the time. I’m only kidding–I admire a guy who sticks by what he believes in. Pretty much the only thing I take away from trailers today is that they’ll do anything to sell what the marketing guys think will get people into the cinema (including showing every single dramatic high point up to and including the end of the film).

And then Melander(Michael Chiklis) double crosses Parker, taking all the loot and leaving Parker for dead by the side of the road. The whole FEEL of it is wrong–it’s a Statham vehicle, which we all knew going in, but he’s made movies that were more serious–this isn’t one of them. For all I know the film’s weakest selling point could be an amazing 15 minute heist sequence which, if they tried to show it in the trailer, would be nothing but clips of people standing around looking worried and an explosion.

I ain’t cheap, but I can be had. Could he not just be reassuring them they won’t get hurt? Obviously they took the key gimmick of Flashfire–that Parker is stealing from the guys who stole from him–it was a mildly interesting twist, given Parker’s general allergy to interfering in anybody else’s job (you will recall, he killed a fellow heister he kind of liked in “The Rare Coin Score” for doing that very thing). Like where he robs the movie theater, and threatens the lady who works there–did anybody think THAT was making it in?

It’s very hard to sell a character like Parker to the general moviegoing public. Don’t judge the film by the trailer – designed by Film District – the studio – for one purpose only – and one which DEW would heartily approve of – getting people into the theaters.

By George Simpson PUBLISHED: 10:04, Sun, Jul 5, 2020 We can’t know from the trailer whether it sticks to the general plotline of Flashfire, but say it does–it’s Flashfire–not one of the classics. That’s the magic of books and radio. Coming Soon, Regal How can you ever go back and do it right now? That’s being generous.

You could make it period piece or not. I doubt this will be one of Statham’s stronger films of the past decade or so, and none of them were particularly strong to begin with. Then I’ll post what I think of the film. The movie would be judged as a work unto itself. At this point I say: go looking for some unknowns to cast the thing and get things off to a bang with a authentic version of The Hunter on the smaller screen. Redirecting to /chrisparker/movie-trailer I agree with Mr. Alexander: I am going to ignore any aspect of judging this film before I actually pay my ten bucks–twenty, actually, because I’m taking my Dad–place my butt in the seat and WATCH the thing.

But of course, none of those movies were CALLED “Parker”. But first Hardwicke(Micah Hauptman) has to set a fire in the wrong place, leading to an unnecessary death. It's an overlong, arduous caper, drawn from the work of thriller writer Donald E. Westlake much as a patient's tooth might be extracted with much banter and minimal anaesthesia. I consider that bad form. Statham is serviceable in the lead role, playing essentially the same gravel-voiced character he's been playing for years, and Hackford's direction lends the film a likable grittiness.

We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your account. I think making too much of the trailer was stupid of me. And I’ve gone on record as liking Slayground (for the film itself; not as the perfect Parker representation, which it sure as heck is not). Parker Critics Consensus. Having him dress as a priest during the opening heist is weird, like they pulled that tiny part out of the book midways and figured “Hey, Parker dressed as a priest.

I don’t believe fans of the Parker novels will make or break this movie–I think it’ll make or break itself, and probably the latter, but that remains to be seen. By that guy’s review, sounded like they didn’t think going after the crew to get his cut of the heist money was enough motivation, they had to add in some innocent guy getting killed to “motivate” Parker too.

But think about some of the major hits we’ve seen from people like Tarantino, about utterly irredeemable characters, who we nonetheless root for because they are so inimitably themselves.

Okay, that was never going to happen, but they didn’t have to tell us ANYTHING. You would have thought that Parker would consider it a disadvantage to have light reflecting off a bare head, and hair can be a useful protection as well (better than nothing, at least, when you jump out of a car at high speed and have to roll down the road a bit). None of Statham’s recent films have gotten anywhere near 80mil, and most of the ones that did are still considered failures, like Transporter 3, and Death Race. I can’t stay away.
