An action packed thrill ride

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2003)

The Transporter renews my faith in action movies. You don't need incredible effects to up the action quotient like The Matrix, you just need to have lots of chase scenes, shooting and fights. That is what The Transporter provides. Jason Statham should become a box office darling based on his square jawed good looks alone but he also can carry a film. The Transporter doesn't have great acting or plot or anything, it's just solid action. The soundtrack is great and provides a great backdrop for the action. The fight scenes alone are works of art. There are a few "yeah right" moments, but overall it's a very competent action movie. Bottom Line: If you like action, you'll love The Transporter.
