A Sleek, Stylish Powerhouse of an Action Movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2020)

This movie really rocks. There are those movies that I really like after I watch them but then I start to think less of them as I think about them. This is the opposite. I thought it was just fine after I watched it, but the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated it.
Jason Statham totally owns this movie. He just oozes cool, and he definitely achieved his spot as a leading action man, which this film propelled him to. His martial arts skills are wicked, and on full-display. He's given more than a fair share of fight scenes to flex in, and he's awesome.
Cory Yuen and Louis Leterrier did a great job directing, with Yuen's fight choreography knowledge really shining through. They bring to life Luc Besson's cool script with a manic energy.
The action sequences are phenomenal and manage to be insane without being too OTT. The Transporter films are know for their OTT action, and this definitely lives up to its reputation. The opening car chase is awesome, the house fight scene is excellently done, and it's accentuates by some interesting music. The house attack is explosive and cool, and the rocks figh and bus/warehouse fight are legit. The warehouse fight is just insane. Statham fighting dudes in a Jackie Chan style before sliding around in an oil-covered room while fighting. The final action scene on the truck is legit. Great way to end the move.
One of Luc Besson's best films, and one of Statham's best too. Please watch it now. This movie goes hard.
