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.

"Don't You Wish You Put Up The Drapes"

Advantages: Twisty turny thriller with a vicious streak
Disadvantages: No special features

...and taking their hair. Malice turns out to be nothing like what you first expect, aspects considered important at the start turn out to be minor, while the little hints of story turn out to become major events shaping the way the movie looks. This is a movie about betrayal of trust, and honesty, more than its original conception from opening credits as a serial killer thriller. Why I feel Malice is comparable to a Giallo movie comes from a surprising ...
...whole villain element that makes Malice in my eyes a winner, although the build up to those events is equally enjoyable, it's always great to watch a movie that has a certain unknown quantity about it.
