I'm not one to quickly abandon a movie... OK it depends upon my mood and whether or not I paid for the movie. The Transporter wasn't all that intriguing to begin with; the acting was average as were the characters and the plot, so it was going to need something for me to make it worth my time. All of Jason Statham's fighting couldn't bail this movie out in my opinion.
I know that Hollywood likes to use pure mind-numbing shooting and fighting to hide its weak scripts, but nothing doing this time. It all went south when the damsel in distress (Lai) decided that this stranger (Frank) was good enough and safe enough to remain with. And did I mention that he helped in kidnapping her and he was admittedly in imminent danger? But... he did give her a bowl of soup, so he must be alright then.
There are better more creative ways to tie two people together other than the utterly cliché damsel in distress recognizing the kind-hearted criminal. I didn't finish the movie so I can't rate it more than a 2 or 3.
