Only in the crazy film world of Jason Statham would he get Jennifer Lopez to strip to her undies and then turn her down.
For Statham is Parker, a thief with a unique code of professional ethics.
Left for dead by his crew after they¹ve double-crossed him, he embarks on revenge plan and forms an unlikely alliance with an estate agent played by Lopez.
Directed by Taylor Hackford (Ray and An Officer And A Gentleman) this is a classic Statham film - brutally violent, pithy one-liners and the director in top action-killer mode.
Why Lopez felt the need to undress remains a mystery though.
