Quote:

You really should think more positive.

Where “Transporter 2” was an over-the-top, ridiculous action film, “Transporter 3” is a little more subdued. That’s not to say that it’s low key. There’s plenty of action, plenty of car chases and plenty of martial arts fighting (which, for some reason, involves Frank stripping off his clothes and uses them as weapons). As an action piece, “Transporter 3” works. The story doesn’t slow down too much anywhere, so the film plows ahead with plenty of excitement. And the action is more believable than before. There really wasn’t any moment where I threw up my hands and quit the film. The story’s pretty thin, but that’s to be expected from a “Transporter” movie. Part of what makes Frank Martin compelling is his mystery. We see his softer side at times, as he reaches out to friends across Europe to help him solve the mystery. However, Statham still plays him as your basic tough guy who doesn’t crack a smile. Natalya Rudakova, the new freckled-faced siren of this film is OK. She’s now famous for being plucked from obscurity to star in the film, and some sultry magazine spreads are sure to be on their way. I’m not a big fan of the freckled girls, but anyone looking for the Eurotrash equivalent of Lindsay Lohan won’t be disappointed. (And this begs the question... Can Lindsay Lohan be considered the Ameritrash equivalent of her former, innocent self?)

I can’t say I was bored with “Transporter 3.” Don’t go expecting any plot. Any at all. Just look for some excellent action, a tough guy Jason Statham and a red-headed sexpot. If you do this, you won’t be disappointed. After all, what else would you expect from a film directed by a guy with Megaton as a surname?
