Transporter is not an alien movie series for many of you by now. It had started its first installment back in 2001 and it was quite a huge success for a mundane action flick with a one man hero approach. And then after the success of the first installment the second which is ‘Transporter 2’ was released in 2005. With bigger and better action than the first that was a memorable movie as well. In 2008 the final of the trilogy ‘Transporter 3’ was released. And by far even though it had less explosions and comparing with the first two it had quite a good action sequences.
Transporter is based on a driver.
A driver name Frank who is ex military, well trained and lethal. Who is excellent
in hand to hand combat and more so in driving. He drives his own cars which are
top of the range sedans by Audi in all 3 movies. His profession is delivery.
Not just delivery but deliveries which anyone else would not dare to accept. He
works with few rules of his own, punctual and always dependable on what he
does. Thus the jobs he get often tends to put him in danger or in very
unpleasant situations. But trusting his rides to be his best friend and the
skills to be his savior, Frank cheats death a dozen times.
The spirit of the Transporter
trilogy is the thumping action performance by Jason Statham, fast shiny cars
and sexy women with short skirts. When all these 3 combined it is a high octane
formula which combust right in front of the screen.
Transporter most of the time is filled
with utter bullshit and never can be true action sequences which almost all
the time defines gravity and all theories of physics. Yet there is something
which just makes you glue to it. Maybe it is the action, cars and woman all
together or at least one for that matter.
This trilogy is not an awesome
one but it is very entertaining if you can digest some big lies. Maybe for some
fans the purpose of transporters existence can be a puzzle (And that includes
me). I mean who really need a external ‘driver’ with such skill to deliver a
package from one place to another when there are so many other means of doing
it by their own! Some food for thought any way. But then again who want to
worry about those details. The movie is kick ass!!
