"PARKER": A very successful score ....

Jason Statham is an absolute Much filmmakers of his profession, which often brings light and shadow - but ER 'raushaut a good movie after another!
Although Mr. Statham may not be the most gifted actor - but his choice of his roles makes him always appear believable and that's the attraction, even if all the characters to one and the same scheme to work: Once forced or deceived into a corner .... Duck, You Sucker !!!!

His latest film coating with the succinct short title "PARKER" directed by Taylor Hackford (including "White Nights - White Nights: Night of the decision" (with Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov), "THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE - The Devil's Advocate" (with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino)) is an absolutely worth seeing and intelligent thriller, although for a Statham relatively little action sequences involves - it hell but moderate in itself have (Tags: Hotel Rooms and Daniel Bernhardt - ultra hard) !!!!

Not only the good (but not new) story ("honest" Gangster is cheated out of his share, folded, left apparently dead - coarse error sounds a lot like Mel Gibson's "Payback" - but the novel also comes from the same cult author: Richard Stark) and the no-frills-quality production, but also the rest of the cast raise this film far above mediocrity: Michael Chiklis (wonderfully devious and nasty), Jennifer Lopez (the goodness here thanks not annoying) and cinema veteran Nick Nolte! ....
(As a bonus, as it were, for the connoisseurs (Actionfilm-) Matter: As already mentioned Daniel Bernhardt as a killer ....)

Best entertainment for fans of sterling gangster thriller guaranteed !!!!
Who does not know him - catch up !!!!

Enough to film - let's talk about the music ....

David Buckley, who has the action-fireworks "From Paris With Love" (with John Travolta) and the gangster drama "The Town - without mercy" (with and Ben Affleck) set to music (the latter together with Harry Gregsson-Williams) , created here at "PARKER" a very interesting score, whose true greatness does not come to its best advantage in the film ....

Do not get me wrong: It is not a melodic masterpiece that expects here, but a damn fine action thriller score with many sound technical details and gimmicks that you get to be heard only at the domestic enjoyment through headphones!
Very melodic (the melodies of course be in action sequences a bit, but that is the nature of the matter and is of course), this rhythm driven almost dark and ominous-threatening, subliminally to strong .... simply delicious !!!!

The inclined score connoisseurs will probably just in a quieter moments at the other times weak to strong to earlier works of Harry Gregsson-Williams (among others "The Replacement Killers" (with Chow Yun-Fat), "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN - UK the sky "feel reminded (with Orlando Bloom)) - his name appears in the rest of the Credits section in the booklet on - and he is absolutely right!
And that's - I think - certainly not a bad model, which emulates here succeeded Buckley !!!!

It lacks this score actually only the theme that sustainably remains in one's memory, otherwise this score is actually everything and is the film absolutely equal: No classic, but state of the art !!!!

"PARKER" by David Buckley:
An absolute recommendation !!!!
