Sleek Streamlined Sock-Suey

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2014)

The Largest Suspension of Disbelief in this Type of Thing is that when the Action Hero, here it is Jason Statham, is about to take on 6-12 Bad Guys in a Martial Arts Choreography to Show His Stuff, the Villains all Discard, Throw Away, Leave Behind, Hide, Forget, or otherwise Appear WITHOUT GUNS. Because if they did not. GAME OVER.
So with that Conceit in Mind, it is Safe to Move On to more Outrageous Action and then more Outrageous Action. That's what's here to Enjoy and it is Piled On from Scene One and Never Stops for Plot, or Characters, or Anything Else to get in the way of the Fun.
You Either buy into this Stuff or You Don't. It is Entertaining to a Point and can be an Exercise in Style when some Creative Folks like Yuen and Besson are at the Controls. This One was Successful Enough to Spawn Two Sequels where by the Third Enough was Enough and the Transporter Ran Out of Gas.
But this is the One that Started the Trio and it is a Fine Fiction with a Semi-Charismatic Hero with Rules and a Rhythm of Chop-Suey that is Attractive in Limited Doses. As a Start-Up this will do and Delivers Enough Mindless Bang for the Buck and a bit of Style to Boot.
