Cool is the right word for it

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2015)

Meet Frank Martin. A former military he is now in the transportation business. A man of principles he likes it quiet in the morning. But after breaking his own rules his world becomes quite loud.
More than a decade after its release this film hasn't lost any of its charm. It's entertaining and enjoyable but most importantly it's very, very cool. The connection between Frank and his car making it almost a supporting actor, the way he dresses, talks and acts and the whole atmosphere of the film are catchy and memorable. Jason Statham played his role so well that it's no wonder this film established his as a major action star. Qi Shu is acting very natural and Francois Berleand is very much into his character, also.
Of course, some scenes are a little bit over the top but that doesn't take away its charm. The dialogue is clever and original and the fight scenes are choreographed with perfection. Combinig this with the fine settings and the fast pace it's an action film that deserves a watch.
