The best action movie of 2002!

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2002)

Once again Luc Besson asserts his mastery of the action genre.
The great thing about The Transporter is that the action never stops. It only takes a breather for a few minutes at a time to develop the plot. The fact that it HAS a coherent plot sets it apart from most action movies I've seen recently. The one liners aren't too cheesy, the action is just enough over the top to entertain you without insulting your intelligence, and the trailer didn't give away even a fraction of the great scenes in the movie. The good guys are likable, the bad guys are detestable. The character interaction is enjoyable at all times. Jason Statham is certainly establishing himself as an action movie leading man. I hope more roles like this will follow for him.
If you like action, this movie is a MUST SEE!
