Transporter 3 Details

reasonably entertaining

The film is suprisingly good, the kind of entertainment and light watching for a Friday night.

The lack of depth is unimportant really, with all the adrenaline pumping action.

Statham remains cool as ever, our hard guy British representative in Hollywood kicking ass.

Unfortunately though, i feel the film is let down by making Statham more humane, falling in love and altogether caring for others. I thought Frank Martin was a cool anti-heroic character?

A good watch with your mates, but not on your own and definately not one for those that want to see a challenging thought provoking film.

failed to live up to hopes of good film

Loved the first, 2nd was OK but this was poor. So many set piece fights (him in the middle, ring of baddies). car chases were reasonably good. One escape in the water was appallingly bad and unbelievable - don't want to spoil it but so bad. Franchise has lost it's 'film 1' grittiness and opted for cheesy fun and romance. Woman was dreadful, she's been kidnapped and yet totally unresponsive to help.

T4 will need a major overhaul of the series to be worth making.
