Mindless Fun!

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2002)

You know, it's nice when a movie actually bears some resemblance to the promise and premise offered by its' trailers. As movie-goers know, too often, buoyed by desperate execs, a movie's advertising paints itself as something far removed from what it actually turns out to be; but this movie bills itself as pure action adventure, and that is exactly what you get.
"The Transporter" will not require much thought, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Car chases, kung fu, explosions, and fabulous stunts, it's all there!
As an aside, Jason Statham makes a great action hero, one the ladies will love! Hollywood should take note.
