Statham Next Action Star!

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2013)

As this is his very first starring action role. As rules abiding Frank Martin. A former Special Forces soldier now living a so-called quiet life in Europe. As he hires himself as a mercenary but follows three specific rules.
1. Never change the deal, keep it as simple and the same. 2. Does not want to know who the people he is working for either, meaning their names. 3. Never look in the package or what he is transporting.
But he breaks #3 as it is a woman that was kidnapped. He manages to bring the package meaning her back despite some complications. But after his car is blown up by a bomb, he seeks revenge on those that gave him the bomb that destroyed his car. And takes the woman captive with him in the process. That turns out to be such a bigger picture. That involves trafficking.
A so-called "simple" job turned complicated. The launching pad of Jason Statham's career!
