Reviews for The Transporter
Top Critic Chases and choreographed fights set to rock music take up most of the running time and the movie is like To Catch a Thief remade by a hack follower of John Woo.
04/16/08
This gang mastermind, gym body Italian import psycho neck wringer Gianni (Alessandro Gassman, son of famed Vittorio), has concocted likely the most convoluted mass murder scheme ever to hit the theaters.
03/31/07
The acting might be shoddy, the plot nonsense and the dialogue clunky, but the fighting is exquisitely done. Inventive, athletic, fun, stylish and tight, it's everything the rest of the film isn't.

Top Critic
A ridiculous and confusing mess of overwritten dialogue, nonsensical plot contrivances and impossible, overlong action sequences.
09/06/03
Mais uma vez, Luc Besson (que aqui exerce as funções de produtor e roteirista) ignora a narrativa em prol da ação inconseqüente (e inócua, já que ninguém sequer sangra). O que aconteceu ao responsável pelo ótimo O Profissional?
06/28/03
A serviceable Euro-trash action extravaganza, with a decent sense of humor and plenty of things that go boom — handguns, BMWs and seaside chateaus.
06/26/03
Statham impresses in a movie that is simultaneously the best (the fight scenes) and worst (everything else) action movie of the year. Destined for drunken Friday night rental heaven.
06/01/03
Top Critic A post-modern take on the "heroic bloodshed" genre that already had one foot in self-satire.
05/28/03
British actor Jason Statham injects The Transporter with a healthy dose of clout, charisma and kickboxing skill.
05/20/03
The Transporter cares about nothing other than entertaining its audience for 90 minutes and taking their minds off the outside world. In this regard, it’s largely a success.
04/28/03
The action sequences here don’t have the kinetic oomph required in such a mindless effort.
04/11/03
...plays like an extended trailer for a movie, a highlights reel, with all the boring stuff, like talk, left out.
03/25/03
While it certainly has more gunplay and kung-fu hijinks ... it is ultimately less entertaining, despite the likeable leads.
03/19/03
Like the longest BMW featurette Guy Ritchie never made, this action yarn is a slick, sexy little package with fast cars, big explosions, dazzling locations in the south of France, a trip-hop score, and about as much plot to fill a thimble.
03/10/03
Statham employs an accent that I think is supposed to be an attempt at hardass American but sometimes just lapses into unhidden British.
