Plot: An outlaw finds his life becoming all the more dangerous when he turns against a gang of criminals in this action drama. Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a former Special Forces officer who lives on the French Mediterranean and has a lucrative second career as a underworld courier for hire. Martin will deliver anything anywhere, but he has three iron-clad rules - once the plan is in motion it cannot be changed, neither he nor his customers are to ever use their real names, and under no circumstances will he open the package. Martin is hired to make a delivery to a wealthy but unscrupulous American known as Wall Street (Matt Schulze), but after taking possession of the package he realizes that whatever is inside happens to be alive. Breaking his own rule, Martin opens the bag to discover a beautiful Asian woman, Lai (Shu Qi), who is bound and gagged. Lai briefly escapes, but Martin captures her, and delivers her to Wall Street as promised. However, after being given a parcel to deliver by Wall Street, Martin finds out what Wall Street is up to - in partnership with Lai's father Mr. Kwai (Ric Young), Wall Street is part of a scheme to smuggle Asian illegal aliens into France. Martin's conscience gets the better of him, and he sets out to rescue Lai and put Wall Street and Mr. Kwai out of business; however, as if this wasn't enough of a challenge, Martin discovers a French detective, Tarconi (Francois Berleand) has gotten wind of his illegal business. The Transporter was the first English-language feature for Hong Kong-based director Corey Yuen, who along with directing a number of HK action flicks designed fight choreography for several American films. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Statham & Style Elevate The Action
Added 6/4/2009

I've always rated this pretty high even if the last 10 minutes got totally out of hand. Actually, a lot of the film is a little over-the-top butit's such a fun movie that I didn't care. Apparently, others agree as this film - as I write - has spawned two sequels.

Jason Statham is very cool in the lead and it's he that makes this a fun film. I also enjoyed Shu Qi, a very pretty woman; the witty dialog of Francois Berleand and some stylish, tongue-in-cheek directing by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen. Another director whose films are known for their hip styles also co- wrote this: Luc Besson.

Some of the action scenes are outrageous. To Statham's credit, he did most of the action scenes himself. I guess he's a tough guy in real life, too. He's pretty amazing.

I still think this is the best of three Transporter films.

Another fun action movie with Jason Statham. Parts can be a bit unrealistic but overall a fun watch.

Statham is THE MAN!!
Added 4/15/2009

English tough guy Jason Statham proves he's got a$$-whooping credentials in The Transporter. Spin kicking, jump kicking, and punching the crap out of criminals of every race and nationality. Not taking any guff from nobody Statham kicks his way through southern France for an hour and a half of pure popcorn entertainment. The take away moment of the film is when he uses the film's heroine as a weapon and throws her at a French policeman and then floors the other French policeman with some kungfu.
