Summary: The Transporter!
Review: "I was wondering if mabey you could transport something for me. That's your job right? To deliver? No questions asked?" That's the line that started all the fun, suspense, and action in the new Jason Stantom film The Transporter. The Transporter opens with a car chase scene which is a great way to start an action movie. The movie is about Frank Martin who is an ex British miltary man who now transports illigal goods for all sorts of people for money. Frank is a man of rules and has rules such as "no names" and "never open the package." Anyway, after getting hired to transport a large package to a man who goes by the name Wall Street he gets a flat tire. Opening the truck where the package is to get the tire the package is moving around. Frank becomes overpowered by curiosity and opens the package to find Lai. He gives her a drink and allows her to go to the bathroom and then delivers her to Wall Street(after chasing her in the woods). Wall Street ask's if Frank could transport another item. Unfortualty it's a bomb to kill Frank for opening the package but luckily it goes off while Frank is taking a break. Frank goes back to Wall Street and then steals his car. Lai follows and begs him to let her stay with him. The two fall in love and learn Lai tells him that her family and 400 other Asian's are being sent the Wall Street and his thugs to become slaves. It's illigal in ever single way. Lai and Frank are agast when they learn that Lai's father is in on it too and they try to stop Wall Street and Lai's father in the action packed movie of the year. The Transporter has an equal share of drama and action. When it's in drama you could actually feel what the character's are feeling. When it action it simply a thrill ride. When The Transporter came out in theatre's I was going to wait for the DVD release but I am really glad that I didn't. ENJOY!

Summary: No.1 Action Movie of the Year
Review: This movie is EXTREME. The opening scene sets you up for a rollar coaster ride. I absolutely adore Jason Statham and this movie showed a side of him I haven't seen before. In this movie, he proves he's a very diverse actor. He was fantastic as Bacon in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" which is absolutely hilarious. And He was excellent as Turkish in "Snatch". But "THE TRANSPORTER" surpasses any of his previous movies. Was I impressed? You better believe it. Would I recommend this movie to anyone? I'm recommending it to everyone who enjoys a good action flick. So... GO SEE IT, RENT IT, BUY IT. I KNOW I GOTTA HAVE IT! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :)

Summary: What a fun movie!
Review: Jason Statham is the Transporter. For the right price he will deliver your package wherever it is supposed to go, no questions asked. Unfortunately he makes the cardinal mistake one day and finds out what the package is. His employers take exception to this and the action/adventure slugfest is running at full speed. This movie has a mediocre plot (the romance that blossoms and the immigrant storyline is somewhat cheesy) that is quite simply saved by the impressive direction and choreography of the action. I have previously seen Statham only in supporting roles but here he proves that he has the ability to carry an action lead. Sure, the character is the familiar quiet man who doesn't want to be pushed, but when push comes to shove he is more than able to deliver. I found the movie to be well shot, extremely stylish, and somewhat substantive. If anything, it was the best action rush in awhile at the theater.

Summary: colorful action film
Review: "The Transporter" is pretty good for what it is - a sleek, slick, high-octane action thriller that couldn't possibly expect us to believe anything we are seeing on screen and, quite frankly, doesn't care that we don't. That attitude is probably all for the best in this case, since it allows the filmmakers to devise elaborate action and stunt sequences without having to pay the slightest heed to that fantasy killjoy known as "credibility." Jason Statham literally drips attitude as The Transporter, a stolid, nattily dressed former military man who spends his time delivering packages (no questions asked) all over the French Mediterranean for what turn out to be some pretty shady criminal clients. ... In addition to Statham, who makes for a very "cool" action film hero, Francois Berleand turns in a wonderful performance as a shrewd, wisecracking police inspector who knows that Frank is up to something but who has enough faith in his own instincts to at least give the man the benefit of the doubt. Qi Shu is cute and charming as the uninvited and unwelcome "complication" that steps into Frank's smooth-running, well-ordered life. "The Transporter" is the cinematic equivalent of junk fast food - not high in nutritional value, but quickly consumed and satisfying when you don't have the time or inclination for something more demanding. Like its cool-under-pressure protagonist, the film delivers the goods.

Summary: Loved the oil fight!
Review: Jason Statham plays "the transporter"--a professional "for-hire" driver. He apparently makes a lucrative living at this--he has a beautiful house which overlooks the ocean, drives a posh, expensive car, and even has a secret second home. We first see the transporter (Frank) as the getaway driver for a team of rather inept thieves. He has rules that he adheres to--stick to the original contract, use no names, and no peeking at any packages he is hired to transport. We know that he likes to stick to these rules in the opening sequences of this film when he refuses to drive the getaway car until the thugs who hired him keep their end of the bargain. Of course, inevitably, the transporter is put into a situation where he is forced to break his own rules, and that's when everything goes wrong. I liked the character of the transporter. I enjoyed his precision, neatness, business-like attitude towards his home and his relationships, and even the care he applied to his car's upholstery. All this made him interesting. Unfortunately, that character was lost in the plot and the whiny girl side-kick he got stuck with. The squeaks, squeals, and gasps she made were very annoying. One star for the character of the transporter, and one character for the oil fight--that was brilliant! I should add, in all fairness, that this is NOT my type of film at all. I went to see this film protesting all the way. So, if you liked "La Femme Nikita," there is a good chance that you will enjoy this one too.

Summary: Hurry - Gee British is Coming
Review: British actor Jason Statham is as cool as any Hollywood male action hero actor, even though this is his first lead role as such. This guy has got some serious talent! So what if Guy Ritchie can't make his wife Madonna look pretty on the silver screen. He discovered Statham on the street corner of London while he was just a con-artist and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime by casting him in his very successful "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels"(just a bunch of British guys having fun on the set) and the even more entertaining "The Snatch" (Brad Pitt as a Gypsy bare-knuckled boxing champion). In "The Transporter", a script written just for Statham by French filmmaker Luc Besson ("The Fifth Element", "La Femme Nikita", "The Professional"), Statham plays Frank, an ex-military turned for-hire get-away man for thieves and criminals, who tries to professionalize his lucrative trade with his "rules" and disciplined preciseness. Frank's quiet and carefully protected world is turned upside down when he unwittingly breaks one of his own rules - "never look into the package" which he delivers for clients, and finds the beautiful face/body of Lai, starring Taiwanese actress Shu Qi, the conscientious daughter of a Chinese human snake-head who tries to foil her criminal father's plot to smuggle Chinese immigrants into France. If you like "The Hire" film series made by BMW to showcase their product line, you'll love the adrenaline-rushing car chase scenes featuring a BMW driven by Statham himself, who has done his fair share of street racing in real life. But this is just the start the film off. The incredible physical prowess of this ex-British-national-champion-high-diver, which make Hong Kong director Cory Yuen's elaborately choreographed martial arts moves much more enjoyable than the typical Jackie Chan-style-action, makes you wish that the fun never ends. You quickly ignore how silly the rest of the plot is because of the superb acting by Statham and Francois Berleand who plays a French detective with a sense of humor. Seriously, would you complain about the décor if you are ordering takeout Chinese? See it on the big screen to fully appreciate Statham's performance, and buy the DVD for the hardcore action scenes that got cut.

Summary: A blast
Review: Incredible car chases, timed to funky music. The opening scene is worth the ticket to the movie. There are a few minor plot holes in the third act (like what happened to the 2nd semi-truck?) but overall it is a great action movie with some very inventive fight scenes.

Summary: The Transporter-True Action at its BEST
Review: The Transporter was an amazing action film, featuring death-defying stunts and spectacular action sequences and directed by Corey Yuen. He was the fight cherographer for Romeo Must Die and
Lethal Weapon 4, which were both good action films.
Now Jason Statham was great, he is a perfect action hero as well as a not very well known actor. He perfects this role with stunning dialogue, a swavy attitude and even a Bond like personality for women that is. Even though he mainly focuses on his job: transporting valued packages. He has three rules which are never to be broken, but then are of course. Jason Statham plays Frank Martin, a sophisticated transporter with little on his mind. With a pricy and innovative car, he fights his enemies with an amazing car chase at the beginning for those who have seen the film. From here a villanous and malevolent character whose name I forgot to be honest delivers a package, a beautiful girl played by She Qu. Then he opens that package, which is braking a rule and he receives another package, which is an explosive. Luckily he isn't in his car when the package detonates. From here we get more explosive action, intense gunplay and some sexual innuendo. The Transporter is rated PG-13 for Violent Sequences and Some Sensuality. In theatres everywhere, October 11. A good choice for those who are fans of martial arts and Corey Yuen. You'll get adrenaline action, with a mix of swave, also featuring a good soundtrack. See The Trnasporter!

Summary: Why Jason? For Godsakes why?!
Review: I have been a fan of Jason Statham ever since 'Lock Stock' and 'Snatch'. Then, he got very bad roles. He did away with his british accent in 'The One' and he sounded like ... Now in the 'Transporter' he does the same and it seems the whole cast has a hard time speakin English. Set in Europe, the film starts off with an awesome car chase, one on par like the ones in 'Ronin'. The movie looks to be everything that I had hoped for, a good solid action movie. As the movie progresses it falls flat on its face having the audience hate the dialogue and wishing they had a remote control so that they can fast forward to the action scenes. From the irritating repetition of the transporter's rules (he only has three but he repeats them over 20 times), to the uncomprehendable english of a french liutenant AND a chinese lead actresss this movie MAKES you hate the other people and things (such as bad script) surrounding Statham. Overall, I absolutely hate the story, I hate the characters, I hate that I actually paid to watch this movie in the theatre, and I hate that this charismatic actor is getting lousy roles. But, and a big but... I'm still going to buy the DVD for the solid action scenes and that's all. I will only be going thru the scene selection for watching this movie in its entirety is an absolute waste of time.

Summary: Action, action and guess what, more action!
Review: This movie is nonstop action! This movie makes "xXx" look like "Barney's Great Adventure"! The action is terrific! The stunts are great! The girl is beautiful (VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL)! The music is adrenaline pumping! Everything is great about this movie! It is produced by the director of "Leon- The Professional", so naturally there is going to be great action! This movie is very similar to The Professional, just a heck of a lot better. Go out and see this movie, you will not regret it!
