five stars minor spoilers

Rating: 3/10 (29 October 2002)

You ever want to just yell @ the big screen? Well --- I do want to on occasion. I didn't and felt bad afterward. "Leave the tape on!" Not that they could get away with that. But I certainly expected more of Luc Besson in the way of empowered victim dialog. The quote that really stands out in my mind is: "He was a bastard, but he was my father."
Statham was very good, but I had hoped there would be more to it than just him. That being said Statham can carry a movie like Vinny Diesel so far has not. Eye candy. Lite beer. Krispy Cream Donuts. I like all those things, but there was so much potential --- will Taxi or Transporter be remembered in 50 years? Maybe as a small part of a body of work.
