A great action flick

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2004)

I havent read the other comments, yet... but having just seen this movie, I thought I'd add my opinion.
Great stuff. Action scenes are well executed. The movie is just the right length... not too long.
The hero is a relative unknown, but performs excellently as Frank, the clinical, calculated "Frank"... an ex-special forces "retired" transporter of illicit goods... no questions asked until he meets Li, one cargo he wasn't bargaining on.
The plot is relatively simple, the characters are very obvious, yet it works... very well...
If you're looking for a well crafted action flick, this movie will be a very pleasant way to spend an evening, if you're looking for the next Matrix, and don't appreciate simplicity, you should probably avoid.
All in all, the Transporter is a fast paced, solid action movie with great fight scenes and a noble plot. Well worth the rental fee, and definately a good way to pass an hour and a half, if youre a fan of the kung fu/action genre.
8/10
