Transporter 3 (2008)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The Worst Film Ever

Excellent but underrated film

The acting in this movie is really good.

Professional driver Frank (Jason Statham) is forced to transport Valentina (Natalya Rudakova), the kidnapped daughter of a Ukrainian minister, from Marseilles to Odessa; on the way, he tries to figure out how to remove the explosive bracelets that have been attached to their wrists, is challenged by gun-toting henchmen sent by the girl's father, and has some sexy time with his pretty passenger.Transporter 3 is even more far-fetched than the previous movie, with logic taking a back-seat for the entire journey, meaning that it's really, really, REALLY dumb (which explains why Nuts, Zoo and News of the World all gave it four stars); it also suffers from diabolical direction and editing, with wobbly camera-work and fast flickering cuts ruining all of the action scenes, the high-speed car chases and stunts utterly chaotic and the fights (which include yet another battle in a garage between Frank and countless thugs) nothing more than a boring rapid-fire blur of fists and feet.

Transporter 3 (2008): Dir: Olivier Megaton / Cast: Jason Statham, Natalya Rudakova, Francois Berleand, Robert Knepper, Jeroen Krabbe: Another train wreck action film where Jason Statham transports another woman only this time he is rigged with an exploding bracelet if he wanders too far from the car. Or perhaps it was to keep him from fleeing the set. At any rate it is the same boring garbage as before. Director Olivier Megaton is skilled at delivering action but the screenplay is either constant chase or constant ass kicking. Either way it delivers nothing new or interesting outside the fact that it is just your basic stupid sequel. Statham is an amusing presence playing an unsympathetic character. In Crank he was much more amusing and given a far more interesting set of events. Here he is basically going by the numbers. Natalya Rudakova as his passenger is running the same drill as the girl in the trunk in the first film. Francois Berleand plays an FBI agent in a role that has be played countless times but here it is at its dull worst. Robert Knepper plays the new moron villain who will get the same ass kicking that previous villains have and nobody cares. There is absolutely no point to this crap other than to present the public with another bullshit film just to milk a mindless franchise a little further. Someone should transport this film to the nearest trash compactor. Score: 2 / 10

There is some aspects about this movie that I liked more than the previous 2 installmentsm, but there were some parts that I felt that it was weaker. What I liked about this movie is how they creativitely utilized the scenerios and action. When it comes to the protagonist having a bomb strapped around his hand. Which explodes if he is too far away from his car. So yeah, I thought the concept was cool, especially near the end. But it lacked the entertainment value, the previous two installment was over the top and ridiculous and this installment isn't as corny as the first one. But I just didn't find it as entertaining. But it still had my attention for the standard 1 hour and 30 minutes runtime. It still a watchable action movie for a rental.6.3/10

sooner or later the franchise had to let of the gas pedal. it's seems to me that , even though there is plenty of action,, women. and cars. there's something missing from this one.. humor, not near as many laughs as there were in the first two films.. Frank Martin has to deliver a sexy woman this time as his "package" the film set in Romania so that was different, I did like some of the street chases and driving,, scenery for Romania and all of that,, I kinda thought there was too much dialog this time and not enough of the action from the transporter movies that we have grown accustomed to, I believe that if the script would have dealt with say delivering an inanimate object instead of a person it would have done a lot better. not a bad movie, just really hard to live up to the first two movies.
