The Transporter
Starring: Jason Statham, Shu Qi, Francois Berleand, Matt Schulze and Ric Young
Genre: Action/Crime/Thriller
Rated: PG-13
After a few supporting roles, Jason Statham finally gets lead role in The Transporter. In this movie, Jason Statham plays Frank Martin, a man who is a freelance transporter who is hired to deliver a package to an American gangster known as Darren "Wall Street" Bettencourt (Matt Schulze). Frank has 4 rules when it comes to transporting and they are "Never Change The Deal", "No Names", Never Open The Package" and "Never Make A Promise You Can't Keep". He eventually breaks one of the rules by opening the package which turns out to be a kidnapped woman named Lai (Shu Qi). He eventually delivers the package to Wall Street but gets double crossed and now Frank must help Lai by rescuing enslaved people from China. Jason Statham does a great job in this movie and not to mention doing his own stunts as well. Also I like the car chase scenes and the cars placed in this movie. Overall good movie, I highly recommended if you're into stylized stunts and car chase scenes!
