Review of The Transporter (2002) by Tyson P — 23 May 2013
Pretty good mindless action flick. Jason Statham exhibits more personality than Stallone or Van Damme, less charisma than Willis or the Governator, and more shirt changes than the conclusion of a soccer match.
Its well-choreographed fight sequences owe much to Jackie Chan for inspiration, let's say on par with Mr. Nice Guy for example. Qi Shu, who perhaps not coincidentally featured as the love interest in Chan's 1999 feature Gorgeous, earns a merit badge in her winsome Euro-American debut (erm, except when delivering that high-pitched shriek.
) Just don't think too much or you'll be asking yourself "How did the baddies know where Frank lives?" or "How could the police chief not be aware of gunfire and rocket launching two minutes after leaving Frank's house?" or "Do colliding cars really explode upon impact?" or "Will that sadistic doctor from Alias ever break free from typecasting?".
