'''''Parker''''' is a 2013 American [[action thriller]] film directed by [[Taylor Hackford]] and written by John J. McLaughlin. Starring [[Jason Statham]] and [[Jennifer Lopez]] and [[Landon Osborn]], the film is adapted from ''Flashfire'', the 19th [[Parker (Stark novels character)|Parker]] novel, written by [[Donald Westlake]] under the [[pen name]] Richard Stark.
 
Primarily set in [[Palm Beach, Florida]], the film revolves around professional thief Parker (Statham), who is double-crossed by his crew. He sets out for revenge on them, helped by a real-estate agent (Lopez) in a quest to steal what his former accomplices intend to rob at a jewelry [[Robbery|heist]]. ''Parker'' marked a departure for Hackford, who hoped to make it his first [[film noir]]. The film, produced on a $35 million budget, was conceived following Westlake's 2008 death, when producer Les Alexander secured the rights to it.
