The Transporter (DVD)

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.

...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 ...

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.

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 ...

Review of The Transporter (DVD)

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. ...
