The pulpy, B-movie thriller Parker is a curious choice for Director Taylor Hackford. Hackford is probably most known as the man behind An Officer and a Gentleman, Ray, Everybody’s All American, The chilling Dolores Claiborne, and one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasure movies, The Devil’s Advocate.

The couple separated in July, 2011 after seven years of marriage, and Lopez admits she didn't have time to mourn the break-up because she was preparing to face off with Jason Statham in the new crime thriller, which started shooting a month later.
