Rent It The Movie: In 1940, Metro Goldwyn Mayer produced a short subject called Jack Pot as part of their gritty “Crime Does Not Pay” series. Viewable on Warner Archives’ terrific Crime Does Not Pay set, the film matter-of-factly delved into the then-current epidemic of racketeers pressuring small business owners to stock slot machines for their customers to play, then hogging all the profits …

“Parker” (R, 118 minutes, Sony): Parker, the antihero of Taylor Hackford’s serviceable action thriller, is an odd duck. Partly, it’s the quaint code of ethics espoused by this gentleman thief (Jason Statham), who shoots a guy in the leg before robbing him and then calls him an ambulance.
