![]() It would be hard to imagine the reboot being actually worse than this repetitive, unimaginative, bland, Wonder Bread in movie form of a film. ![]() We can't imagine why anyone would want to reboot this trainwreck of a series, but at least this version from 2002 set a very low bar for any new movies to come. By the end of the film's very short run time, it feels like we have been sitting on our asses for 3 hours and are just ready to be done with it. The acting is terrible (sorry, Statham, at least you've gotten more charismatic through the years), the writing is terrible, the fight sequences scream fake and choreographed, and the action is not entertaining in the slightest as it has all been seen before. Starring: Jason Statham, Robert Knepper, Natalya Rudakova, et al. FREE Shipping on orders over 25 shipped by Amazon. There is nothing redeeming about this movie. EuropaCorp and Fundamental will co-finance, produce and distribute the next three installments in the Transporter franchise (parts 4, 5 and 6). Transporter 3 (Single-Disc Edition) 4,990. It is so poorly written and we care so little about what's going on, the action winds up feeling boring and uneventful, which is just about the worst thing that could happen in an action flick. We like Jason Statham, but this movie sucks, period. And we say this knowing fully well that this film essentially catapulted Jason Statham into become one of the biggest action stars of the moment at this present time. Defenders of the film will ask us, "what did we expect? It's meant to be a mindless action film." That might offer some slight excuse for the movie, if any, had it been the slightest bit fun or exciting, but it's not. We've already established this movie is absolutely stupid with a poorly thought out script which makes little to no sense. He does eventually finish the job but when the man who hired tries to kill him by having him transport a bomb Frank heads back to get revenge. Then, we are led to a series of the most contrived set of circumstances, leading him to break his own set rules. A short time later, Frank is hired to transport a package which, when it's revealed what (or should we say who) the package is, we wonder why he was ever hired to do this transport in the first place. ~*oh okay~* The film establishes his driving ability and strict adherence to his own personal rules through an opening bank robbery and subsequent unrealistic chase scene which enters the realm of too over-the-top quite quickly. Despite being one of the best in his business, he performs all of his criminal activities in his own personal vehicle and yet doesn't worry about being caught because he changes the licence plate when on the job. A fresh-faced Jason Statham plays Frank Martin, who is basically a criminal courier and getaway driver for hire. We're not sure how anyone thinks this is a good film, and furthermore, we're not sure why anyone would defend it at their favorite movie. Oh boy, where to begin? Let's just say this up front: "The Transporter" is an awful movie. This movie is so bad, we can't even bring ourselves to watch the two sequels. ![]() He lives by a clear set of rules meant to keep him and his packages out of trouble., but when one of his packages isn't what he expects, this leads to a conflict with the men who hired him. Most families will instead likely opt to “return to sender.Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a professional driver who transports people and items, most often of an illegal nature. On-screen murders with machine guns, missiles, chokings, stabbings, and a “maiden in distress” at the hands of male criminals allows The Transporter to set a new watermark for violence in a film deemed appropriate for teen viewing by ratings authorities in the US and Canada. Lacking some of Diesel’s cool and (dangerously attractive) on-screen persona, Statham similarly hacks, shoots, kicks, and stabs his way through this thriller with countless impossible stunt sequences that are sped up and rapidly edited to create the illusion of speed and danger. ![]() This film’s protagonist is cast from a similar mold as the other recent bald-Bond wannabe - Vin Diesel’s Agent XXX. Not only does the coupling make for good romance (sex is strongly inferred when she drops down to underwear after a desperate swim to safety), but Lai’s story of slavery and the need to save hundreds of others from a similar fate is also the screenwriter’s one hope to convince audiences that Martin is more than a mere mercenary. We have some early details on this Jason Statham films release in both formats. Eventually making his drop after a few unexpected detours, he thinks the job is complete until a series of violent incidents bring him and Lai back together. Transporter 3 Brings the Action to DVD and Blu-ray on March 10th. Breaking one of his cardinal rules (“Never open the package”), Martin discovers Lai (Qi Shu), an attractive Oriental woman inside of a bag he has accepted as cargo.
