Actors:  Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte, Wendell Pierce, Patti Lupone, Emma Booth
Rating:  8 out of 10, Jason Statham scowls his way through another movie – kicking ass and taking names.  He’s very Porteresque in a plot very similar to Payback.  This should have been enough but the filmmakers decided Jennifer Lopez needed to be in the movie in what should have been a small part. I’m guessing she was not content with that because her role is awkwardly expanded to include more of her than was necessary. The movie’s pace comes to a screeching halt whenever she appears on screen. Statham’s proven he can carry an entire action movie. They should have let him.
MVP:  Statham as the title character ,a good hearted thief who packs a punch
