Summary: Same as "The Foreigner"
Review: "The Transporter" is the same thing as the Steven Seagal masterpiece, "The Foreigner." Just transport the goods without asking questions. But no, Jason Statham had to open the trunk to his BMW and find a Chinese woman. He gave the baby some orange juice. How unsalted! The delivery boy shows that you should give respect to pizza delivery boys because of his monsterous jump-kick that brought down the house! This movie has plenty of action, but the noisy woman made it mortal. So, this was a pretty good effort from the funny man who made "Ghosts of Mars" memorable. There was plenty of pastry and fine foods in this movie, so where was Steven Seagal?

Summary: Packs a big punch
Review: "The Transporter" is by no means a theatrical masterpiece...but that doesn't matter. The stunts are amazing: from the opening car chase to the multiple battles featuring Jason Statham vs. Large Group of Bad Guys. I challenge anyone to watch this movie and not say "Whoa!" at least ten times throughout the duration.
Statham holds his own in his first starring role, sometimes shirtless and covered in oil (a little something for the ladies). He proves to be the right mixture of brood and mystery needed for this type of action hero. And anyone should be impressed with an actor who did a lot of his own stunts (either that or his stuntman is a perfect doppleganger).
Overall, the movie is great fun, but it's not to be taken seriously. There is a plot that attempts to keep the movie going, but it's only a tiny distraction. Corey Yuen's direction and the fight choreography are classy enough to make this a better action movie than some. Need I even mention Steven Seagal's recent debaucles?
I think the best things that are going to emerge from "The Transporter" release are the budding American careers of the main star and director. I'd love to see what either of these two do next.

Summary: What happened?
Review: Went to see this movie, and after the first 10 minutes, I was psyched. The opening scene gets you pumped and on the edge of your seat for a great car-action thriller. The music gets you into it, the noise, the driving stunts, etc...then....then...it flops into a boring, re-used plot, poorly set-up replay of any action movie involving a guy, a girl, kidnapping, rescue, and organized crime.This movie could've done better in many aspects. There was not a lot of action IMO beyond the first scene. A movie with several of those scenes would be worth watching even if the plot stunk, which this one did. The "love story" in this movie was horrible. It basically went from two people hating each other, to being civil, to suddenly falling in love. No transition what so-ever. The plot is just recycled, and the acting is flat at best. Sorry folks, but this just wasn't what I had expected.

Summary: Action all the way
Review: Though not a well-written film like American Beauty or Fight Club, The Transporter is a very well-done action movie. If what you want is fast-paced action along the lines of a Jackie Chan flick (the fighting, I mean), then this is a good movie for you. I personally loved it, and am planning to buy it the day it's released.

Summary: The best action movie in years
Review: To be honest, halfway through the movie during a scene where the main character's house is being lit up by automatic rifle fire, I realized that this movie had no plot. But who cares? The action scenes in this movie more than make up for the lack of story, from the opening chase scene to the ridiculously cool last battle. This movie oozes with style. xXx deserves no comparison to this excellent action movie. Highly recommeneded to action fans.

Summary: Jason Statham had better become a big star.
Review: The title of the movie is The Transporter. That's apt, considering it's Jason Statham's character, who truly steals the entire movie. It's been a VERY long time since an action star has made the kind of impression Statham has, who's delightfully cool and charismatic, physically agile and imposing, and simply a great deal of fun to watch for every minute he's on screen. The Transporter was 2002's best pure action film, loaded with thrilling stunts, fast-paced car chases, and some of the most memorable fight scenes (the oil-slick fight is a classic). True, there's not much of a story and a lot of the other actors are pretty bad (Ric Young, Matt Schulze), but the pacing is tight, the action's non-stop, and Statham and Qi Shu make for a surprisingly decent pairing. This is enthusiastically recommended to action fans.

Summary: KICK-BUTT MINDLESS ACTION AT ITS BEST
Review: Far superior to Vin Diesel's surprisingly lame XXX, THE TRANSPORTER is a beautifully shot, tightly choreographed, high-octane, full-throttle, kick-butt, Euro-action flick. The dark plot, something about smuggling human for slaves, contrasts nicely with the often bright, sunny, locales. Square-jawed, Jason Statham is perfect as the transporter who delivers things for a fee with no questions asked. Unfortunately, when he breaks one of his three simple rules (never open the cargo), all hell breaks loose. Cory Yuen directs with a daring precision that is breathtaking. Mindless action at its very best. Recommended.

Summary: Jason Statham is worth watching - - This Movie Was Great!
Review: This movie was much better than the overhyped, bloated, Vin Diesel action movie XXX. The Transporter's fight scenes were excellent; the plot was decent; and the action was non-stop. Best scenes are the fight in the garage when Jason Statham and the bad guys are covered in grease and when Statham rings the doorbell to the home of one of his "customers". Statham is excellent in this movie and just about all other movies he's been in. I hope he keeps making action films such as this one as well as off-beat movies such as "Snatch". I definately intend to buy the DVD.

Alright if you read this i suggest you buy this very great movie Peace

Summary: Awesome movie
Review: This is undoubtedly the best action movie I have ever seen. Aside from the fact that the plot is a little lacking, the scenarios that Jason Statham has to get his way out of are extremely interesting. The fact that I have never seen this guy makes it evem more thrilling, since I don't think of him as another character (eg, Jackie Chan in "Who am I", I always think of that movie when I see him), I think of Stratham as the Transporter. My friends decided that they didn't want to see this movie after they saw Stratham blocking a missile with a tea tray in the preview--I've convinced them to see it once it comes out, since this was cut from the final version. The fighting is top-notch, the camera work is excellent, and the music is top-notch. My favorite action movie of all time.
