Nobody-27 There are fun movies, guilty pleasure movies, even silly or ridiculous films... and they can all be enjoyed, to some extent. But this one is way below any of those standards. It feels like it was written during a drunk weekend, and with no re-writing. Someone had money to burn. I won't go into details, because they are worthless. I wanted to see action and camera work, as well as chase sequences, and even those failed. Fighting was badly coordinated, chase scenes lack sense of space and orientation and therefore believability, story is barely there, twists and plot points absolutely ridiculous, timing is off throughout... In conclusion: this film sucks in every way imaginable.
selmanalkan Jason is easily, in a blink of an eye, subdued by a bad guy in the middle of the movie. He is so powerful and more skilled than Jason that there is no meaning in watching the rest of the film while Jason fights and beats dozens of bad guys. The movie is not convincing while Statham beats nearly all the bad guy while he is not capable of resisting even a second that bad guy who easily subdues him....I waited for a second confrontation between them but no. The movie ends with without this last battle between them. So l would prefer to see that other guy who kicks the Statham's ass in the movie...
boris_kolarov The Transporter has been requested for me to watch from a friend of me. And yes, my friend was right to request me The Transporter - it is an entertaining film. Here's what I like about it.1)The film had its surprises and there was one at the very beginning I didn't expect - the film is French.2)Jason Stathan offers great acting and non-CGI stunts. I enjoy his accent.3)Some cool bits of the soundtrack.4)Nice writing.5)The actors do not a bad job.6)The film is really entertaining.I'll write what I hate about it.1)Weak villains.2)There was a twist in the film that I didn't liked.Overall The Transporter is a nice action film, that manages to entertain, without boring you when there isn't much action. It isn't the best action movie of 2002, but it isn't the worst. From Bad 1 to Excellent 6 I give it EXCELLENT 5.50 - not quite VERY GOOD 5, but not quite EXCELLENT 6.
brchthethird While it certainly won't win any awards for originality (nor did it), THE TRANSPORTER is probably the best solo vehicle for Jason Statham that I've seen up to this point (to include stuff that has come out more recently). It's an all-thrills, no frills action movie with minimal character development and a logically incoherent plot, but the action sequences and Jason Statham's charisma as a leading man more than make up for the flaws in the narrative. Certain elements date it a little bit (a few soundtrack cuts in particular), and it almost feels like a relic of the 90's except for the fact that this came out in 2002. Still, I have great nostalgia for these types of movies and I had a great time watching it. Not only that, but there was some humor peppered into the mix which makes it contrast favorably to other movies that take themselves a little too seriously. Overall, this is a must-see if you're a fan of Jason Statham or action movies in general.
