Move over, Vin Diesel, because The Transporter, Hong Kong action veteran Corey Yuen's English-language directorial debut, is revving up to steal your thunder. As the other top-billed action star to emerge in 2002, British hunk Jason Statham--previously seen in Snatch, Ghosts of Mars, and The One--plays a hard-driving courier for well-heeled underworld clients. He follows simple rules: (1) Stick to the deal; (2) Don't ask names; and (3) Don't look in the packages he transports. All's well until he violates rule 3, discovering a Chinese beauty (Qi Shu) in the trunk of his tricked-out BMW, and foiling a deadly plot to smuggle Chinese slaves through the port of Marseilles. The first hour is ass-kickin' fun, and the stuntwork is impressive throughout, even as the plot degenerates into a predictable series of bone-breaking showdowns. Statham boasts an appealing combination of brains and brawn, suggesting the suave versatility of a promising career. Coproduced by action auteur Luc Besson and filmed on dazzling French locations, The Transporter is an action fan's delight. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker
Jason Statham, best remembered from "Snatch," stars in this successfully generic action film directed, with bang-bang enthusiasm, by the Hong Kong action master Corey Yuen. He plays a chauffeur moonlighting as a courier of smuggled packages (bombs and kidnap victims) who quickly runs afoul of a Chinese crime lord. The extended action scenes fit together like pieces of a puzzle and display a silly, sly humor. The movie is noteworthy for Statham's delicious athletic performance; he moves beautifully, tossing off his lines like firecrackers. -Bruce Diones

Customer Reviews

Great Movie, Good Bluray Disc
This is a great action flick that has received a pretty good conversion for Bluray. The visuals are solid and the sound upgrade is above average. This is a definite buy if you don't already on it on DVD, and if you are a Statham fan, it's worth upgrading for.

Popcorn and Candy
Look, this isn't high art. It's popcorn and candy at a Saturday afternoon matinee. In other words, it's a ton of fun. Quick, a bit witty, funny and silly. The good guys win and the bad guys lose. What's not to like?

THE TRANSPORTER
