    The best movie Steven Seagal never made. Except that Statham, while just as marked for death, is harder to kill.

    What's most disappointing is the almost utter lack of humor -- In the mindless action sweepstakes, however, there's still enough here to place The Transporter above big-bang gibberish like XXX.

    It's like the worst movie Jean-Claude Van Damme never made.

    Outrageous and hilarious. Both 1 & 2 are parodical in many of the scenes which would be physically impossible in real life. The stereotypical unrealistic hollywood action goes so far that it becomes very apparent that the film isn't being serious.… Expand

    This movie was action packed. Jason Statham really proved his acting skills in this movie. The second part was not nearly as good as this one. Looking forward to seeing part 3 instead.… Expand

    The action sequences are good, but in the end "Transporter" is a standard movie that uses the same tedious blockbuster formula.
