Don't Believe the Hype

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There are fun movies, guilty pleasure movies, even silly or ridiculous films... and they can all be enjoyed, to some extent. But this one is way below any of those standards. It feels like it was written during a drunk weekend, and with no re-writing. Someone had money to burn. I won't go into details, because they are worthless. I wanted to see action and camera work, as well as chase sequences, and even those failed. Fighting was badly coordinated, chase scenes lack sense of space and orientation and therefore believability, story is barely there, twists and plot points absolutely ridiculous, timing is off throughout... In conclusion: this film sucks in every way imaginable.

Nothing will ever change my opinion about Jason Statham and his movies. The Transporter is quite possibly the best Jason Statham movie ever. Especially when it's his first movie ever. I just can't help the fact that his first movie would be,in my opinion,the number one action movie ever. I'm just glad that I saw this movie,because it's just the best. Jason Statham in this movie is where he just does a simple delivery job with his own rules. And if any of his rules were to get broken,well,there will be consequences that would need to be payed.Then for his recent delivery,he delivers a girl that he didn't even know about,and that's not even what got Jason to start fighting.NO,what started him fighting is something more personal that would contain spoilers for those who haven't seen it. But for any Jason fighting movie is a movie I will immediately love right away. But this one will always be in my first place

An outlaw finds his life becoming all the more dangerous when he turns against a gang of criminals in this action drama. Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a former Special Forces officer who lives on the French Mediterranean and has a lucrative second career as a underworld courier for hire. Martin will deliver anything anywhere, but he has three iron-clad rules - once the plan is in motion it cannot be changed, neither he nor his customers are to ever use their real names, and under no circumstances will he open the package. Martin is hired to make a delivery to a wealthy but unscrupulous American known as Wall Street (Matt Schulze), but after taking possession of the package he realizes that whatever is inside happens to be alive. Breaking his own rule, Martin opens the bag to discover a beautiful Asian woman, Lai (Shu Qi), who is bound and gagged. Lai briefly escapes, but Martin captures her, and delivers her to Wall Street as promised. However, after being given a parcel to deliver by Wall Street, Martin finds out what Wall Street is up to - in partnership with Lai's father Mr. Kwai (Ric Young), Wall Street is part of a scheme to smuggle Asian illegal aliens into France. Martin's conscience gets the better of him, and he sets out to rescue Lai and put Wall Street and Mr. Kwai out of business; however, as if this wasn't enough of a challenge, Martin discovers a French detective, Tarconi (Francois Berleand) has gotten wind of his illegal business.

I had to admit that Jason statham proved himself as a action star by way of this flick I liked him from this flick he had used his full martial arts techs to make this film watchable I am surprised by its action sequences.I Also agree that the film is boring at some points and it also includes very less action scenes but the duration of the film has overshadowed it so it is good.Plus there are some unbelievable action stunts but still I.am liking it I had not watched its sequels but I will sure watch them as I would like to see whether they are good from this.I am not disappointed by this movie I hope that the next sequels would be better than this.This flick had forced to me to become the fan of Jason statham really he is the action star I full admit it!!!
