nice first half, but after the break it's going down hill

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2002)

I saw this film in a sneak preview, so i didn't konow what to expect. When i saw the name Luc Besson i thought by myself that this could be a nice movie, you remember films like taxi, yamakasi, wasabi or kiss of the dragon.

The story of the transporter is pretty simple; jason statham play's a guy who delivers packages for criminals. He has simple rules that shouldn't be broken, not by the criminals who give him the assignment or himself.
Then he brakes the rule himself, he opens a package. and in that package he finds a chinese girl. from that moment there after the criminals who are smuggling people in containers from asia to france.
this film has disappointed me a bit. When you know the luc besson movies, you expect something fast. this movie is fast but only in the first half after that it's turning into a soft story about trust and real love. So my conclusion is that if you like films from Luc Besson you shouldn't watch this, because it's a little disappointing. if you are a fan of Luc Besson you probably gone watch it any way.
I give this film a 6. greetings to all of you movie lover's
