The only one I have is Slayground. Pretty pathetic. Not the film though (some would disagree!)

Not happy with the pic actually. It looks a bit sloppy. I'll replace it with a better one tomorrow.

It's probably the worst movie adaptation of a Parker novel, but i still enjoyed it.

Thanks Stephen. This is all news to me.

Having looked up the novels the only ones i've seen as films are Point Blank and Payback. Both based on the novel The Hunter. Also Parker starring Jason Statham.

I had no idea Statham's Parker was the same character as the other films i've mentioned.

All three excellent films in my opinion too.

There have been quite a few movies based on the Parker novels.

Made in U.S.A. (based on The Jugger)
Point Blank (based on The Hunter)
Mise Ã* Sac [“Pillagedâ€�] (based on The Score)
The Split (based on The Seventh)
The Outfit (based on The Outfit)
Slayground (based on Slayground)
Payback (based on The Hunter)
Parker (based on Flashfire)

I need to seek out the rest there.

I thought you might have picked up the Sean Connery skyjack film Ransom.

Actually the suggestion part of that statement might well have been Odeon, not Network.

That's a shame as I certainly have a few suggestions for them (British film).
