The Transporter

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2007)

I saw the advert for this on TV, and I thought it looked quite cool, so I tried it. Basically, The Transporter, or Frank Martin (Lock, Stock's Jason Statham), an ex-special forces man, is now a secretive man who sticks to strict rules (mainly his own). He is basically hired by many people to transport anything they want with no questions asked and no names given, only where to go. One of his delivery's though has a rule broken where his curiosity leads to opening the delivery to someone called Wall Street (Matt Schulze), and he finds a Chinese girl, Lai (Shu Qi). When Street finds out that he broke a rule, he decides that he should be dealt with by many assassins. With his life now in danger, he is both on the run, but also, with Lai's help, going to rescue many Chinese prisoners to be enslaved, being smuggled into France by Lai's villain father. Also starring François Berléand as Tarconi and Ric Young as Mr. Kwai. I must admit there might not have been much of a story to pay attention, but all the action, explosive and chase sequences never disappoint. Worth watching!
