Review of The Transporter Refueled (2015) by Danny R — 19 Sep 2015
Camille Delamarre's bland 90 minute reboot flop of the superior 2002 high-octane action thriller that starred Jason Statham. Ed Skrein fails big time trying to take over Statham's role of Frank, a laconic no-nonsense getaway driver and martial arts expert who moves people and things for a price.
Skrein uses a carbon-copy accent and zero charm, he does not have Statham's bullet-head charisma or his commanding presence or fighting skill. The story concerns Frank's new job for a vengeance-seeking prostitute named Anna, well-played by loan Chadbanol, she and three other whores pull off some big money robberies to get back at their former pimp, Frank does not want to get involved, but Anna kidnaps Frank's father, a superb Ray Stevenson, Frank than is forced to help them.
The action sequences are well done but dumb, and the villains are laughable 80s stereotypes. Standard boring direction by Delamarre, this reboot is running on empty. Not Recommended.
