Corey Yuen Has Done It Again!

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2003)

After seeing Jason Statham get smacked around by a super-charged Jet Li in "The One", it's quite amazing to see him doing the smacking around this time. Fortunately, all of the action seen here is really Statham's doing, not wire work or special effects - for the most part, anyway.

This guy has intensity. Even when he goes to get a couple of sodas from a vending machine, you can't tell if he's going to give that ol' machine a running spinkick or not!
Of course, not all is serious in the world of "The Transporter". There's also some humor - some of it light, some of it dark, some of it sexual. Fortunately, it doesn't offset all of the high-octane craziness going on, whether it be *SEMI-SPOILERS* a souped-up BMW defying the laws of gravity, deflection of a ballistic missile with a silver dinner tray, or "greased pig/pedaled foot style" martial arts.
"The Transporter" is a movie that you definitely should not pass up if you like action. Period. In fact, after watching it you may find yourself nodding off at other recent Hollywood actioners - "XxX", Anyone?
