People are voting emotionally.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This 2002 action film stars Jason Statham, Qi Shu, Francois Berleand and Matt Schulze. Statham (The Expendables) plays Frank, an ex-special forces soldier/mercenary who delivers and transports. Soon, he's hired for a job, but ends up breaking the rules of opening the package and finds Asian girl, Lai (Shu). Frank finds himself in a heavy situation and tries to protect her. Schulze (The Fast and the Furious) plays Wall Street, a corrupt businessman who tries to kill Frank and Lai and Berleand plays Inspector Tarconi, Frank's friend. This is pretty good, Statham is great in it, he & Shu have good chemistry and the fight sequences are impressive. I recommend this.

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.

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

I can honestly watch this film over and over again.Jason Statham makes his first appearance as Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin who lives a quiet life in the French Mediterranean, but hires himself out as a "transporter" who moves goods from one place to another. No questions asked. Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks. Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know who he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. However Frank's newest delivery makes him break some of his rules.He's been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery; but when Frank stops along the route, he notices his package is moving. Violating Rule Three, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful, gagged woman played by Qi Shu. Frank realises what evil man Wall Street is and he sets about destroying a human trafficking organisation. he gets some help from his friend and Police Inspector Tarconi played brilliantly by François Berléand who adds some humour to the film (and subsequent Transporter films).But what makes this such a great film is the introduction to film of the great character of Frank Martin, brilliantly played by Jason Statham. The fight scenes are really good and the ending does not disappoint.
