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 package. He does so, but to his surprise (and I guess a sign of his not always following 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 movie and the only downside I feel is Shu Quis father, whos acting leaves alot to be desired. But if you are a Luc Besson (of Fifth Element fame)fan, this movie is for you.

If you want a higher rating from me I'll happily give you one if you add more detail, length of movie, a bit more about the story, direction, who did the action choreography. Was statham any good in this role?
