Frank Martin is sitting in his living room, and he begins to look for something between the crease of the cushions of his sofa. After a few seconds he stands, and a car comes crashing through his living room. In the driver seat is a severely wounded man in the same line of work Frank is in who is accompanied by Valentina the daughter of the Minister who has been kidnapped, and is being used to black mail the Minister into signing documents that will allow a corporation to dump toxic chemicals illegally. Although Frank did not want the job of delivering Valentina, he found himself in a room, unconscious, and with a gun eventually pointed at his head, he got the job whether or not he wanted to.
This is the first transporter film I have seen on the big screen, and gladly so. It was a stylish film endowed with explosions, car chases, great fight scenes , a pretty girl, and an off beat french detective. There were no disappointments. An action film is what was expected, and an action film is what was delivered. Jason Statham is a top notch action star, and it's great to watch him. Yes this was an action film, but the story is worthy of mention because of its political substance. Great action movie, nothing extraordinary, but absolutely entertaining. According to Metacritic.com the film received mixed reviews, and according to Rottentomatoes.com the film received 27 fresh tomatoes to 46 rotten ones thus far. This film was very entertaining. I' ll grade it a C+. Stay Tuned, Movieporium.blogspot.com.
