One for the guys!

Advantages: Brilliant fight sequences
Disadvantages: A good but occasionally weak storyline which can rely on the action a bit too much

The Transporter is the first in the trilogy of brilliant action movies starring Jason Statham, The Transporter is followed Transporter 2 (2005 ) & the aptly named Transporter 3 (2008) which I am yet to see. However I?m here to talk about the film that started it all, The Transporter was released 2nd October 2002 & was greeted with a mixed reception from the critics, the film had an average of a 53% rating which means just over half of the critics ...
...Despite it?s average reception the film did quite well at the box office, grossing an estimated $43,928,932 on a budget of $20,900,000. The Transporter is rated a 15 which is to be expected & it runs for approximately 94 minutes. The Transporter is directed by Louis Leterrier & Corey Yuen. Louis Leterrier is most famous for directing this film, the first sequel & Fearless, a martial arts film starring Jet Li & Morgan Freeman. Corey Yuen, the more ...

Advantages: great action packed movie from start to finish
Disadvantages: none really

...a transporter of anything, if the money's right. *BRIEF PLOT* Frank Martin, (played by Jason Statham) is a delivery driver, only the packages he delivers are not your usual packages, they consists of anything from drugs to people. He is such a perfectionist at his job that he constructs his 'getaway' vehicles specially for each delivery, with some brilliantly dangerous consequences and even has rules which he religiously sticks to… With Frank ...
...harder as he is under the constant observation of Inspector Tarconi, (played by Francois Berleand)… who is convinced Frank is up to no good… The trouble really starts for Frank when he collects a package which he has to transport to Darren Bettencourt, (played by Matt Schulze), a rather insane man who has other plans for the delivery man… only for Frank to have other ideas, seeking revenge against his new enemy… only to end up with a new and rather ...

Rule Nr. 1: Never open the package

Advantages: nonstop action, beautiful co-star, bit of mystery, nice martial arts chereoograhpy
Disadvantages: none

Frank Martin (Jason Statham), aka The Transporter, a former soldier who has seemingly 'retired' turns up with his black BMW 750 at the oddest places, namely a bank robbery, where he is the driver. We get introduced to him in a garage, where we find out he is very precise and follows three special rules, one of which is: Never open the package. Well, after he completes the bank robbery mission he gets called up to pick up and deliver another mystery ...
...his own rules)he does open the package...and promptly gets into a lot of trouble. First his car goes up in flames, then his house and in between the Marseille police wonders what he really is up to. Its a great movie with nice action scenes in the form of martial arts fights, car chases and funny punt lines. And the lucky viewer gets a viewing treat in Shu Qui, a beautiful asian actress who plays Martins damsel in distress. Its a nonstop, fast paced ...

The Transporter

Advantages: great action packed movie
Disadvantages: short film

this film is the story of Frank (played by Jason Statham) who for a living is a transporter of various items and sometimes people. so far his career is going well and he has built up a nice life for himself until one fine day he makes the mistake of breaking one of his 3 rules he looks in the package and he finds a young woman called Lai. the trouble then begins because the people for whom he is transporting this person (who is a v.bad actress) realise ...
...himself and Lai. overall the story is very easy to figure out and yes the acting isnt very good but i still think this film deserves a good rating because the faction scenes in this movie are the best ive ever seen. the car chases, the various objects being blown and the choreography of the fight scenes are great and in the end make this film very enjoyable to watch. ...
