The Transporter

         

The MM - "English tough guy Jason Statham plays the meticulous "driver for hire" who plans every job down the last detail and even though he deals with the most ruthless of business partners he never breaks any rules. That is until he breaks his strictest rule by looking at what he is transporting when he notices the contents of his trunk are moving when he has stopped to change a flat tire. Once Qi Shu is out of the bag (literally) the heart pounding intensifies and the high speed chase scenes, shoot outs, fist fights, explosions, and macho dialogue eventually help our star and his damsel in distress break up and international slave ring. But don't let the Movie Man mislead you into thinking this movie has a plot. It doesn't. What this movie does have is every part of the formula for a stereotypical action thriller."
