Fizzles

The Transporter (2002)

Jason Statham stars as the title character in this action film about a former soldier with a suspect accent living in the south of France who takes driving jobs from criminals. As you might expect with an action film the plot in this film does not have a huge amount going for it but it does manage not to be so bad as to offend the viewer even if it does seem that the plot was never fully fleshed out.

The problem with this film is trying to do an action movie on a modest budget means that the stunts are never going to be out of this world and lets face it the stunts and fight sequences are what you watch these movies for. While the fight sequence in the bus depot with the oil is pretty unique the rest are fairly average. What the film does have going for it is that the south of France is a really good back drop for any film and provides some good photography here.

I remembered this film as being better than it was on a second viewing so I can only give it a middle of the road 3/5.
