Movies that feel likeParker (2013)

A thief with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist.

If you loved Parker, the closest films we have are Enforcement (2020), Chocolate (2008) and Dhoom 3 (2013). All three share Parker's kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Law of Tehran (2019).
