Why this pseudo-actress appears in this movie? In the entire Hollywood
JL was the only one available? She ruined this movie with her presence.
Just a big bottom and zero talent. For me, the movie is for about 7
stars but JL makes it for 3 stars. Just my opinion.
She isn't the best actress granted, but she hardly ruined the movie, it's not exactly world class is it, just an average revenge flick.
sharei agree with the above, its just a very average action movie. i dint mind JLo's acting but i thought the part was unnessary. they should have cut all her scenes and made the movie 90mins instead. then we would have had all action and no romcom bull
shareShe was just eye candy and I don't mind looking at her. She didn't ruin the movie like let's say Blake Lively who ruined SAVAGES.
shareno, the writer/director ruined savages blake lively played her pathetic role as best as expected but whoever wrote edited and directed it was just horrible and yes i know Oliver Stone directed it and im shocked he would churn out such garbage but still my points been made hopefully
Jlo's role was completely needless and she wasn't much eye candy at all since unlike the other female actors she didn't show her breasts who wants to look at a mid-40s chick in a bathing suit when they could have real eye candy
This ^ so much this!
shareI agree. The movie was okay until Ms Lopez turned up and then it just dragged and dragged. Also, they could have cut another 15 minutes by eliminating or shortening all the shots of cars driving around.
shareSure, the entire movie should be re-edited to be of just Statham Hollywood fighting and spilling red-dye corn syrup.
shareI am in absolute agreement. After Lopez's entry, it dragged on and on and on . . . etc.
shareMy thoughts exactly. It felt like her role was forced into the storyline. 6/10
IN THE END THERE WILL BE ONLY CHAOS
I agree could of picked someone better than her
shareher character just really pissed me off.
she goes something like
"i need to go, so he doesn't stuff it up"
*gets captured and ruin I bet a smooth plan, while all she accomplishes is looking through a window, then have an hysteric hissy fit as soon as shes captured, also somehow shooting a man 5-7times with a glock and somehow runs out of *beep* it up so the gun stops working, then to drop it on the ground while parker is in the next room possibly dieing for all she knows *
2pro for a person that needs to "help" parker
character usefulness = 0
character eye candy to draw in a few extra bucks = 1
she was kind of usefull, otherwise there wouldn't have been a really exciting ending with her getting caught and all!
but then again, this whole movie was pointless

nah. Having watched it I do find the casting slightly strange and her character has some problems, but she was fine in this. The blind hate for her as an actress by some is incredible.
share+1
shareYou obviously don't remember Gigli then, do you?
shareThe fact that anyone thinks shes an actress is incredible.
She is used in films for her name, and to look at her ass.
She has 0 acting talent.
Shes a performer who sells sex and nothing else. Her music is *beep* her acting is *beep*
You are *beep*
Lopez is a fine actress and acquitted herself well in a role that was beefed up through her involvement. Parker may well have been a stronger film had it been more linear, but my disappointment in this film stems from a familiar script and Taylor Hackford making this boilerplate stuff when it had the potential to be more. It's still a good action film, and Lopez is part of that -- I found het acting to be good, with her character having genuine motivation and intelligence. Statham does much of his usual stuff here, and at that, he's among the best because he knows exactly what the material demands. I thought Nick Nolte was poor, however. His role was ill-conceived and he seemed to be on autopilot -- every line seems to be a difficulty for him. That's, perhaps, a physical thing for him nowadays.
NOW TARZAN MAKE WAR!

You're *beep* I'm *beep* he's *beep* she's *beep* they're *beep* WE'RE ALL *BEEP*!!! *BEEP*
shareYou're *beep* I'm *beep* he's *beep* she's *beep* they're *beep* WE'RE ALL *BEEP*!!! *BEEP*
sharebecause she perfectly compliments Jason Statham, another fcking zero. I downvoted this just by seeing his *beep* ass on cover
shareI thought she was ok, but the character was very poorly drawn.
shareI almost didn't watch it because I knew she was in it. But I watched it anyway. I wish I hadn't. You could've cut the middle 45 minutes out of the movie and no one would've noticed.
shareThe movie plain sucks - it doesn't have anything to do with Jenny from the Block - although her character and involvement in the revenge mission is utterly pointless!
To the OP - Q:''Why J.Lo?''... A:Because she's sexy as hell you utter moron. It's not fvcking rocket science!! And to that end the casting works, because for me at least having her on screen supressed some of the ideas I was having about leaping from a third storey roof to numb the pain of watching the rest of the *beep* actors and pathetic storylines in this awful hash of an action film!!
-------SPOILER---------
i love JLo in this.Great bod for her age and as despicable a character as you can get.She complains her mother wont die,she hates her rich clients and everybody else,like a classic bitch she hates a nice guy who likes her,and theres a nice touch in the end,-when she lies to her mother about the money,so she wont have to share some.
She's a bit distracting.
shareThe movie is terrible regardless of J-Lo.
In fact apart from her good awful role she played and its meaninglessness, she performed better than most of the other actors.
Why she's there? Someone in the production probably knew her or something and asked her a favour.. I don't know. Why did we have to have two love interests?
Mind you....
Why did we have to have the abomination that is Parker?
The movie was good for what it is. I've seen way worse action films. As for the moron who said, "who wants to see an actress in her 40's when there's plenty of younger eye candy around?" Well lets say that you're in the minority because J Lo has built a name for herself and plenty would prefer to see her with clothes on than a no name with none on. I'm not a fan but she hardly ruined the film.
As for SAVAGES, Yes it's true that Stone ruined his own film by having Blake Lively narrate it. Dumb ass move on his part.
I didn't have a problem with Jennifer Lopez in this movie. Yes, her character wasn't completely necessary, but I thought she added some stuff to it. I liked how she wasn't the love interest this time. Yes, her and Statham did kiss, but it seemed like she liked him more than he liked her and he already had someone.
As for Savages and Blake Lively's role, don't even get me started. When I watched that last Summer, I didn't know that she would be the narrator until I heard her voice at the start. It wasn't even good narration.
All I need is one mic...
