An entertaining action/adventure.

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2007)

Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is an Ex-British Soldier, who turns himself into an unusual delivery man. Which he has his own rules or he does the job with no questions ask. Then he gets involves with his latest package (QiShu) that unexpectedly gets in his way but when those mysterious people... who hired him double-crossed Frank. Which they tried to kill him and the package. Now he finds himself protecting his latest job, while she has agenda of her own.
Directed by Corey Yuen (DOA:Dead or Alive) made an entertaining action-packed thriller that has an amusing sense of humour. Statham is a lot of fun (especially to watch) in his first lead role. Louis Leterrier, who credited as Artistic Director. Leterrier is best known for directing "Transporter 2", "Unleashed" and the upcoming sequel of "Hulk".
The original DVD has an terrific anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an OK commentary track by the producer:Steve Chasman and actor:Statham, Deleted/Extended Scenes with optional commentary by the actor and filmmakers and more.
The new DVD has the same anamorphic Widescreen transfer but it has an new audio track in DTS 5.1 Surround, which is terrific. The DVD has same extras but adding also an new half-hour featurette, ten minute featurette on "Transporter 2" and "Transporter 2" trailer as well. For sure, the story isn't great but it's so much fun that it's makes up for the movie's flaws. Written by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, The Professional, Subway) and Robert Mark Kamen (Bandidas, The Karate Kid, Kiss of the Dragon). Besson is also one of the producers as well. Super 35.
