" Truly The Millennium's Action movie, and NEXT LEVEL ACTION STAR "

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2005)

When I first decided to watch this movie I thought it's going to be a usual Hollywood/Hong Kong action crap with some Rated nude scenes. But what I got was a GEM!!!!!
After the end of 90's and the decline of ARNOLD-STALLONE presence, Hollywood was really going for ACTOR oriented movies than ACTION oriented HEAVY WEIGHTS (which is Good by the Way). In an arena now starving for ACTION STARS, this movie really redefines the Golden-age Action Films and makes the answer for the NEXT LEVEL ACTION HEROES.
Directed by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen, tells the story of a man who makes a living with the delivery of illegal things.
The Transporter (Spoilers******)
After ending the military carrier Frank Martine (Jason Statham) is now in the field of smuggling. A disciplined, solo professional who transports criminal materials in his BMW for the outlaw customers. He has strict rules for his service which makes the Transporter a noted name in the crime world.
But things went wrong when he got a new assignment, to transport a package which happened to be a lovely Asian girl(Qui Shu).
Scripted by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen tells the Hard Hitting Fast Paced story of The Transporter - Frank Martine. A great structured screenplay for an action movie, which also blended with another dimension of Underworld and Romance. Tremendous camera works, enriched with in the fast cutting editing which really demanded in the movie. Credit goes to camera team of Pierre Morel and the visionary editor Nicolas Trembasiewicz.
Both the vehicle and the physical stunts were done brilliantly. Fight was well choreographed by Film Director Corey Yuen and the Stunt performers rocked in each frame. The man who steal the show Jason Statham, his portrayal of Strong and Silent - Good Bad Man was the best thing in the movie. I wish he would appear as 'Agent 47' if Edidos game company brings their Hit-man titles as movies, he will LIVE in that character. Plus lovely lady Qui Shu was really treat for eyes in every frames.
All and all it's a great movie which stands in the Top of high rated Action titles. A true action movie of the 2000's.
I give this movie 10 out of 10 !
The Transporter = Action movie with a defined dimension.
