The Transporter delivers Action

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2002)

THE TRANSPORTER (2002) **1/2 Jason Statam, Qi Shu, Matt Schulze, Francois Berleand, Ric Young. Top-notch action sequences squeeze some volatile juice from a tired genre : the compromised action flick, this time with cool as ice Statam in the titular role as an ex military operator who makes his own rules in delivering any goods for a price until he winds up to his neck in an Asian slavery ring racket involving the latest of his jobs (Shu). The aforementioned stunts and set-ups are fun and fast at a breakneck speed involving car chases and some nifty fight choreography rise above by the flat-footed dialogue provided by the screenplay (co-written by producer Luc Besson).
