Parker (2013)

One of the most Jason Statham-y Jason Statham movies to exist

In this movie Jason Statham wears a wig, pretends to be a priest, pretends to be a cowboy, does an outlandishly hilarious Texan hee-haw accent that Jennifer Lopez's character somehow finds believable (and is shocked when she hears his British accent).

This movie is dumb, ridiculous, hilarious, and as always with Mr. Statham, action packed to the brim. Statham's character, Parker, is practically unkillable, and while his moral code seems to be slightly questionable, ultimately, he is a mostly likeable good-ish bad guy.

While it may not be the most clever movie ever made, there's just something about watching Jason Statham kicking butt and doing a goofy Texas accent (even if it's short-lived) while wearing a cowboy that that can never get old.
