REVIEW
In this unremarkable action vehicle, Statham plays an all-business, tough-as-nails transporter-for-hire, demonstrated in an exciting opening car chase. Of course, this amoral criminal must find his inner cuddly bear when his current package turns out to be a young woman (actually, he only joins her cause after the bad guys try to kill him, which kind of dampens the hero image). The film becomes less involving and slower as it goes, since there's no real story or characters to hold one's attention. As for the action, there's little of it, though an all-too-brief martial arts fight in an oil slick stands out. The whole project smacks of cowriter Luc Besson's cynical emptiness, but Statham's omnipresent charisma keeps it afloat. (Sequel: Transporter 2)
