  Carry on Transporter with french humour!
  
  Simple, childish, comedy thriller with a likeable cast at times reminiscent of a Carry on Film. Superb opening sequence on a scooter and some fun running jokes... read more »

  Poor
  
  Possibly the worst film I have seen in a while. No plot, no acting and not even that many fast cars. Just a peaugeot and mercedes. Really bad.

  Bad dubbing
  
  Not a bad idea, but the voices employed for the dubbing were appalling, no colour, dull, stereotypical 'emoting' . Shame.

  French Action and Comedy
  
  This is a good French action and comedy movie! Fast paced and worthy of watching. The subtitles work well and I would recommend this film to you.
