This scene is supposed to be exciting but the editing is less than perfect. One of the very first scenes is Frank driving his car through Nice as he is pursued by the police. Action packed in shoot outs and fight scenes. Every time Statham takes his shirt off in this movie I got the urge to go work out. Until I watched this movie, I didn't even know they had gyms in England. Statham may singlehandedly change my image of the British male actor. Jason Statham's accent and mannerisms make him the British answer to Vin Diesel. Through a great number of action sequences Frank redeems his unlawful history by stopping the American from doing his illegal transporting. She seduces him and he agrees to help her rescue some Chinese people who are being transported in big cargo containers. He then steals a car and drives away, only to discover the Chinese girl hiding in the back seat.įrank and the girl, of course, hook up. Frank then goes back to the American's mansion and kicks some major ass. Luckily, Frank was out of the car at the time having lunch.

The suspicious package blows Frank's car up on the way back. The American then has Frank deliver another package. He still delivers her to a crooked American, Matt Schulze (Blade). On one such transport he breaks one of his own rules by opening the package. He is not actually the bad guy, although he definitely breaks the law as he drives the getaway car for some French thieves. He transports goods for people, with no questions asked. Jason Statham (Snatch) stars as Frank Martin, an exmilitary man living in the south of France. I know, James Bond movies are considered action movies, but does he ever even sweat? The Transporter finally creates a British, muscle bound, ass kicking movie star. Too often they even seem a bit feminine, like Hugh Grant. Unless they are doing comedy like Monty Python, British actors always seem to be so stiff and proper, like Colin Firth. Jason Statham and Qi Shu in The Transporter.
