Weak but yet enjoyable

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2012)

This flick can be seen as catalyst to Louis Leterrier directorial career which we see in the form of some amazing flicks in recent times i.e.2010 Clash of the Titans 2008 The Incredible Hulk 2005 Transporter 2 2005 Unleashed .
This Action/Crime/Thriller is about an Ex-Special Force operator Frank Martin (Jason Statham) with a mysterious past now works as a "transporter" who moves goods--human or otherwise from one place to another. No questions asked,with his own set of rules . Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know whom he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. but he broke his own rule & gets into trouble, which one & what type of trouble see the movie please ;).
The most strong element is Jason Statham been an Olympic Diver on the British National Diving & background in martial arts gives us some amazingly thrilling car chases & fighting sequence, as a man one of the reason watching some movies is gorgeous ladies which this flick fulfill through beautiful Asian actress Qi Shu (lai).
Now lets come to the weak part the reasons why i gave 6/10 , this flick has a very weak script for mature audiences & predictable too,no character development except Frank martin unreal heroism & a weak villain with not much to offer & avg performances by supporting casts sends this flick right back to being an avg , when i compare this action flick to first movie of Die hard series or MI which been released much earlier then " The transporter" they have much better story line to offer. yet if u like watching Jason Statham in action & want to feel the innocence of Qi Shu call your friends rent the movie don't buy ;) & have fun on couch :)
