Transporter 3 Movie Review

Well lets be honest with ourselves here. Do any of us really go to see Jason Statham act in a Transporter movie? For that matter do we watch any of these films for the acting? To answer this for you, NO.

We go to these kinds of movies to see some ass kicking happen and let me tell you, there is no lack in that department. The film has a ton of ass kicking along with some great broken limbs.

Transporter 3 delivers exactly what everyone wants to see. Action, some action and a little more action. While it does have its occasional lull in between the car chases, the explosions and even the occasional bike stunt, the 3rd installment doesn’t fail us. I would even say the 3rd film could top 2 and come very close to over doing 1.

A little bit about the movie: Statham is back as our favorite transporter, Frank Martin. Caught up in the middle of a toxic waste conspiracy with the foreign governments, Frank is forced to deliver yet another package to an unknown destination. Of coarse nothing is truly what it seems and the rules have to be broken. We all know how Frank feels about breaking his rules.

I must say that the female in this movie had me flip flopping about her character throughout. She comes off as a very mysterious sexy woman, then an ignorant child, then a sexy woman again. I loved it all! Newcomer Natalya Rudakova brings in a very sub par acting piece but pours on the heavy club kid slash grunge girl persona. The persona and look is what I loved about her.

Overall, this movie should be taken as what it truly is, its an action packed unrealistic film. But a hell of a fun movie to say “Damn!” to. As with any movie Statham has been in, you have to take each stunt/scene with a grain of salt. Frank Martin really is back and its nice to see what unfolds for him one more time.

I would recommend this to anyone who loves this genre. I would not recommend this for a date night. I would think most women would turn their heads away on this one.
