Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

Python Hyena The Transporter (2002): Dir: Louis Leterrier, Cory Yuen / Cast: Jason Statham, Shu Qi, Matt Schulze, Francois Berleand, Ric Young: Title regards giving and receiving of information without care or thought of consequence. Jason Statham plays the title role whose job is to transport merchandise without asking questions. One such package happens to be an Asian female tied up in the trunk of his car. He is not suppose to look at the merchandise but upon discovering the victim he is targeted by terrorists. Typical plot is just a series of action and stunt scenes to solve absolutely nothing. The action is directed with exhilaration by Louis Leterrier and Cory Yuen but their writers are obviously lacking ambition in the creativity department. Statham was appealing in Snatch but here he drives fast, makes narrow escapes and beats up ten guys at once. Shu Qi is the hostage. After appearing in this dreadful mess she will likely need to go back into the trunk again to hide the shame. Other roles are your standard investigators and mindless thugs that fit like puzzle pieces in formula plotting. Generally they end up on the receiving end of Statham's foot up their ass. There is no point to this mayhem other than to employ senseless violence for sheer pleasure. It is a lame screenplay that should have been transported to a different screenwriter with no questions asked. Score: 3 / 10

KineticSeoul So this is the breakout movie for Jason Statham and the first movie where he plays as the lead role. I didn't much think of this actor when this film first debuted. But he really built himself up to be one of the most well known action stars out there. I remember watching this movie as a kid and thought it was alright, maybe because I was a big Jet Li fan back then. Sure this film can be slightly corny in today's standards and the chase and action sequences are ridiculous. But a movie like this shouldn't be taken seriously. And it seems to get even more ridiculous and even more over the top with each installment. So the plot is about this guy named Frank Martin who is a Ex-Special Forces Operator and topnotch driver that transports people or objects from one destination to another for a fee. Even if the task is dangerous, so in a way he is a getaway driver. He has three rules. Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know whom he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. The last two rules puts him at a disadvantage in my opinion, especially since he works for dangerous guys. From the dialogue to the anti-hero to bad guys interactions is very cliché, but it's one of those action movies that because of the simple and yet fun action sequences. Even if the characters directions and decisions doesn't make much sense either. Mainly because it doesn't try to be more than what it is, while it having effort and well choreographed sequences in it mixed in with humor. This is a cool (although a bit corny now) and stylish action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. So overall, this movie despite the mediocre character development and story it connects well enough with the cool action sequences to make it worth a rental and made it worth a watch in the theaters when it came out.7.1/10

michelvega Yep! Truly a Luc Besson movie. A little bit of James Bond, a touch of Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis, Austin Powers, even Kill Bill in those intervals in fighting, though here bordering on tedious. A kind of sound track reminiscent of his other movies, I happen to like generally. Add a little touch of originality and shake well and voila: you got a totally ridiculous, preposterous and yet funny movie. The car chases were good and predictable. The rocket propelled grenades or missiles changing course in mid flight; if they were heat seeking, I keep wondering where the heat was coming from. A toaster perhaps or a coffee machine? This is not the kind of movie I would watch twice but what the hell. I saw it on TV and it was fun. I give it five stars for entertainment value. There are far, far worse movies in this genre out there.
