Format:DVD
Whilst this film is by no means bidding for a place in the list of all-time greats, it is a wonderful action movie. After a fairly standard opening, the plot takes a very unexpected twist and our all-conquering hero grapples, in genre-typifying form, with unbelievable odds and dastardly uber-foes but, most of all, this a love story. The does-he-doesn't-he-get-the-girl plot (I won't spoil the film for you by revealing the answer) does, however, serve as a back-drop for some stunningly inventive action scenes. The martial arts scenes really are a joy - we alternately roared with laughter and felt our eyes pop out as the film goes from fight to fight and as the odds get ever-more improbable. There is a supremely creative comic twist to many of the fight scenes, and this plainly elevates the film above many of it's action-movie peers. (I'd love to know which art (or arts) were used - our bet was Kung Fu.) Jason Statham makes a thoroughly convincing performance and manages the transition from anti-hero to hero beautifully. The love-child of Superman, Bruce Lee, Bruce Willis and Vinnie Jones is alive and kicking in the South of France!

This is a good above average film. If you like a good action film, with good car and truck chases, and with some really excellent fight scenes then this film is for you.
What makes it above average is the twists in the story and a nice sense of humour that appears through out.
Very enjoyable

The original and the best this film is the first in the Transporter trilogy and the chase scenes are superb, the fight scenes fasst and impeccably put together and the one liners are as good as anything in a Stallone/Willis movie. A thoroughly enjoyable traditional action film which harks back to the eighties actioners that no doubt inspired it. Brilliant.

Good action from Jason Stratham
This is the first of the transporter movies. I have become a fan of Jason Stratham and his action based movies. This one does not slip from start to finish. Read more

is what I say to those giving this a low rating. It is what it is, a tongue-in-cheek actioner. That's the thing with action movies. Read more

The best and worst of the action movie genre.
The Transporter is directed by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen and written by Luc Besson (who co-produces with Stephen Chasman) and Robert Mark Kamen. Read more

A shamelessly silly action movie
A slick, polished action movie with a big dollop of humour. There are massively stylised fight scenes, ridiculous chases, a naive (or maybe not so naive) French policeman, a... Read more

Fast cars and a surprise package.
Some terrific car chases highlight this action thriller. Very entertaining just don't think too much about the plot.
