Review

The Transporter is an action film about a professional, high-risk delivery driver who gets into trouble when he gets involved with his female cargo.

The Transporter is one of those small action films with surprising quality. The story is fairly good. The characters are interesting. The pacing is fast, and the action is incredible.

Even though The Transporter is an overall good movie, it excels in two areas: driving and fighting. The car chases through the narrow European streets are spectacular and evoke the great precision driving of the 007 films. The fight scenes are even more remarkable. The martial arts sequences are surprisingly creative and unique. It’s amazing how many different ways they found for Statham to beat people up.

The Transporter is Jason Statham’s best film and is a must-see for any one who enjoys great car chases and martial arts.
