Better than I had thought it would be, though the bar wasn't set too high...

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2003)

This movie was pretty good, and much better than the previews showed, which consisted etirely of the transpoter kicking various things. For an action movie, it wasn't laughably bad as far as gratuitous fighting scenes, and the concept was pretty cool.
Then, about halfway through the movie, it all went downhill, in my opinion. Every scene is full of endless henchmen trying to kill the transporter, who had no shirt on and was glistening with fake sweat. This alone drives one away. In addition to that, they throw in some meaningless plot point *5P01L3RZ* about how the bad guys are smuggling in people from Asia! Wow! Few plots have never transitioned so smoothly! All subsequent action sequences were hilarious. Hilariously bad. I can recall vividly a car swerving to a halt on a freeway, to be hit at 70 mph. That was ok. The giant explosion ensuing, however, was a little unrealistic.
In true Raiders of the Lost Ark fashion, he kicks the driver of a tractor trailer out of the side of the truck. The driver then falls, with the door, onto the pavement where he proceeds to actually ACCELERATE, continuing to travel at 70-or-so mph for maybe 15 seconds, and flies off a cliff, the dummy painfully obvious. That's my lasting memory of the movie.
I wouldn't recommend this, though the transporter concept had the potential to be good. If you must rent it, do it for the best lmao action scenes since "US Seals".
