Storyline
Toxic
waste bubbles in a ship waiting permission to dock in Odessa. Frank
Martin turns down a job in Marseilles, referring it to a pal. A short
time later, the pal, wounded by gunfire, crashes his car into Frank's
living room and dies, leaving a young woman in the back seat. The
employer of the dead man shows up, forces Frank to take the job, snaps a
bracelet on his wrist that will explode if Frank gets more than 75 feet
from his car, and sends Frank on a journey east with the young woman
and a trunk full of something. She's Valentina, nearly mute. Can Frank
figure out what's going on, deliver the package, and escape alive? And
what does the ship have to do with it?
Movie review
I
loved both Transporter and Transporter 2, and I couldn't wait until
opening day of Transporter 3. I recruited a few of my friends and we
made a girls' night outing to see it. My big disappointment was with the
director's comic fast-frames in the fight sequences. Jason Statham
moves so fluidly in fight sequences, that it's both beautiful and a
turn-on to watch. However, with jerky camera movements and the
ridiculous fast-forwarding, the elements of grace and power were lost.
The director tried to substitute plenty of still moments with a
shirtless Statham in an attempt to give us some eye candy, but none of
this did Jason justice, nor was it a fitting substitute. Natalya
Rudakova was much too young for him as a romantic interest (kind of
creepy), and I was unconvinced by her cheesy accent and her character's
incongruent language mastery. Her character went from describing gourmet
delicacies in perfect English to saying "what means ____" (insert basic
word).
I loved François Berléand again, and of course Jason put in another outstanding performance. Natalya could have been a fun character, without the bad accent and romantic twist to the plot.
Please give us a Transporter 4 more in line with the previous two films!!
