The best movie Steven Seagal never made. Except that Statham, while just as marked for death, is harder to kill.

Kinetic, meaningless and fun.

The movie that made Jason Statham a household name around the world. It is a well crafted action movie with great choreographic written by Luc Besson. Jason Statham is Frank Martin known as the Transporter. He has 3 rules: A deal made is final, no names and he will never open the package. After the furious introduction he breaks his last rule and gets into more trouble than he could imagine. It is a fine action movie with great chases and intense fight scenes. The story is also pretty good for an action movie but that is a bonus in this genre for many not including me. Jason Statham does a great job being the stoic man which has still a heart underneath his facade. Shu Qi is a good addition to him. She is a character with strong believes and morals. She is more just than a damsel in distress but not an action heroine. Matt Schulze is a worthy adversary and an enjoyable villain you love to hate. Francoise Berleand is the fitting Inceptor who bends rules in name of justice. Overall a fitting cast. I think I have said all there is to say. For my conclusion I will say it is a well made action movie with an enjoyable cast and memorable scenes with a astonishing low budget of 21 millions.

10/10 Sterne - Einer meiner LieblingsSchauspieler und der Film wurde richtig gut umgesetzt. So schön!!! zu empfehlen.

Cut above this genre's usual industrial sludge, even when the chops and kicks are too fast to follow.

The plot doesn't rate as high as the quality of the bodies in fast, furious motion. What counts in The Transporter isn't the wafer-thin story about smugglers -- it's the way Martin kicks open a door, fends off a couple of axes and uses a perfectly ordinary sport shirt as a weapon.

Sreams its devotion to style over substance with slick action sequences, fast cars and breathtaking stunts.

If anything, The Transporter isn't ludicrous enough; only one scene (a hand-to-hand showdown in the middle of an oil slick) reaches the inspired, delirious comic heights of the best Hong Kong movies.

That the movie becomes silly isn't necessarily a problem, but it also becomes tiresome, degenerating into a series of martial arts interludes -- everyone unaccountably leaves his guns at home.

The Transporter is an alright movie, it's got the sort of basic plot for an action movie. The acting from Frank (Jason Statham) is brilliant and so is his dialogue, I just wish that the rest of the cast were as good as him because their performances were alright but their dialogue felt a bit too forced. Also, the action sequences throughout this movie are very smart and very unique, I really enjoyed them all and there's some great choreography throughout them. The biggest thing which has aged badly throughout this movie would have to be the haircuts which these people have got, they're so early 00s they're so funny, lol. Overall, The Transporter is an alright action movie. It's got some brilliant acting from Jason Statham and it's even got some very smart and very unique action sequences from start to finish.

While the fight sequences were well shot and the movie was quite entertaining, the rest was average at best. The cinematography is boring, the acting is nothing spectacular and the plot is as cliché and predictable as it comes. While it's not a bad action flick, "The Transporter" is nothing special either.

Günümüz izleyicisi için artık eskimiş bir yapım. Tavsiye edemeyeceğim. Yine de karar sizin tabi.

The movie has more things going wrong for it than right. There are plenty of acting cliches, a terrible soundtrack, and a weak cast.
