December 3, 20112002 French actioner chronicles the work of character Frank Martin, AKA the Transporter. His job is to deliver packages, and he consistently lives by three specific rules.
This film, though appearing as a 90-minute car commercial, was very watchable and notably fun. It was oft... read more -
August 17, 2011The transporter was directed by both Corey Yuen & Louis Leterrier but essentially it was directed by Louis Leterrier. He seems to have been Luc Besson's go to man during his producing era (I'm so glad he's directing again) and you can see why. The action is there and so is the he... read more

July 21, 2011fb535316333Everything wrong with the Hollywood-action-genre of today. Over the top, clearly staged sequences, blatantly forced badassery, unimaginative (and somewhat incoherent) storytelling.
God it just has so much "in your face" pizazz. Like a teenager with his popped collar slapping on ... read more -

August 21, 2010This is no masterpiece, but it's definitely one of the better films of the modern action era.
The driving and fighting chorepgraphy is awesome and well done, the stunts are exciting, and Frank Martin is a kick ass character. Statham is awesome, and is a joy to watch, The conc... read more -
August 12, 2010Due to Jason Statham's larger than life persona, you might expect this to be over the top and unbelievable from a logical standpoint. However, this can be taken quite seriously and it's very much in the same reign as Die Hard. It allows itself to be fun, but not a joke. Jason Sta... read more

Hank Sartin, Chicago Reader

Justine Elias, Village Voice
Kills time between car chases and martial-arts bouts with random scuba-diving footage apparently culled from producer-co-writer Luc Besson's The Big Blue. Full Review
October 19, 2002
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The chases and explosions get a little (well, more than a little) ludicrous, but the cool premise is still very cool. Full Review
October 15, 2002
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It's high rent Steven Segal -- fights, explosions, and more fights, but with a flair. Full Review
October 14, 2002
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
The story is virtually impossible to follow here, but there's a certain style and wit to the dialogue. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Quite the ride, if you can stand the sight of valuable cars at risk. Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A poke in the adrenal gland.
October 11, 2002
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
The last 40-odd minutes are essentially one fight, pushed to the point of absurdity.
October 11, 2002
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
When it comes to pure action, The Transporter delivers.
