One to watch over and over again!

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2015)

I can honestly watch this film over and over again.
Jason Statham makes his first appearance as Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin who lives a quiet life in the French Mediterranean, but hires himself out as a "transporter" who moves goods from one place to another. No questions asked. Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks. Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know who he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. However Frank's newest delivery makes him break some of his rules.
He's been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery; but when Frank stops along the route, he notices his package is moving. Violating Rule Three, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful, gagged woman played by Qi Shu.
Frank realises what evil man Wall Street is and he sets about destroying a human trafficking organisation. he gets some help from his friend and Police Inspector Tarconi played brilliantly by François Berléand who adds some humour to the film (and subsequent Transporter films).
But what makes this such a great film is the introduction to film of the great character of Frank Martin, brilliantly played by Jason Statham.
The fight scenes are really good and the ending does not disappoint.
