Following a successful heist at a racetrack’s count room, Parker and his crew are double-crossed, costing him both the loot and his partner. Parker tracks down the traitor but ends up reluctantly teaming up with her for an even bigger score. Shane Black’s latest offering is an enjoyable but ultimately forgettable action comedy, leaning more on CGI-heavy set pieces than genuine laughs. The script is loosely adapted from the Parker crime-novel series by Richard Stark.
