The Transporter

Twentieth Century Fox presents a Europacorp production

Starring: Jason Statham Shu Qi

Directed by: Cory Yuen

Plot: A man has one simple job, deliver the package that he has to transport. When he  opens the package which is against the rules, and finds a pretty Chinese girl inside. His boss tries to kill him so he gets revenge by basically kicking a lot of people's asses.

Acting: Well this is the first time Jason Statham takes the lead in a film. He does a good job playing a hard ass who kicks ass. Statham was in both of Guy Ritche's first films Lock Stock, and Two Smocking Barrels and Snatch where he had stand out characters with good lines, which got him noticed I guess. He has also been seen in John Carpenters sad and dull Ghosts of Mars and in the funny Jet Li movie The One. He didn't do much of anything in either of those movies. So finally in this one he gets to take the lead and show off his fighting skills.

Directing/Writing: Yuen directed both The Professional and La Femme Nikita which both had pluses and minuses. In this movie the fighting and action is off the chart explosive and amazing. Sure the plot is pointless because this movie really does not need one. If you break the movie down there is no reason anyone should even be fighting, but it is still so cool!!! So I have nothing bad to say about what they did with this movie because I had the most fun I've had in a long time.

Overall: Man have I been waiting for this movie to come out. This is the best and most explosive film of the year. It never stops with the action and tries to bore you with stupid dialogue since this movie knew it did not need it. Not like XXX which thought it had a plot and had acting, all it had was a good looking foreign chick and one good action scene. This movie on the other hand I can't choose which scene I like more. I just haft to say the end where this one guy is hanging off a truck door and it breaks off and he slides on the ground with the door was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
