I respect this opinion immensely but I'm coming at it from the opposite perspective of Mark Wahlberg being dead-last on my list of Parkers. Like, 'behind Statham' last. He wasn't well-served by Black's script, which gives Parker a past (?!), has him show demonstrable fear (!!!), etc.

What does it mean to you to be a Southerner?
Someone asked me that today in an interview

This place that -

I am intrigued.
