a fairly good action film IF you turn your brain off

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2005)

Jason Statham is Frank Martin, an ex-Special Forces operator who is now a transporter who has his own set of rules that he strictly abides by until he breaks them and opens a "package" he's transporting that contains Qi Shu. This film is entertaining enough, if wholly unbelievable. You'll enjoy it if you turn off your brain and just roll with the action. Personally I expect more from Writer Luc Besson, but then again since 1995 he's only made fun and entertaining but not great films (with the two obvious exceptions of the original "Taxi" and "Danny the Dog" which were almost as superb as his pre-1995 movies)
My Grade: C+
DVD Extras: Both widescreen & Fullscreen editions of the film; Commentary by actor Jason Statham and producer Steve Chasma; a 12 minute Making Of featurette; 3 Extended / Uncut Fight Sequence with optional commentary; and Theatrical Trailer
