Uproariously silly action movie which launched Jason Statham's career as a leading man in this sort of thing. Brilliant fights and chase sequences are strung together by some frankly very suspect dialogue scenes, comprising a rather hackneyed plot. No-one involved appears to be acting in their first language, which is a bit bemusing considering Jason Statham is English and Matt Schulze is an American.

This is on one level a terrible pile of nonsense, but also superbly entertaining as an unintentional comedy and a genuinely proficient action film. If you're playing the Transporter drinking game, award yourself an extra swig every time the logo of a well-known beer named after a snake appears, as they appear to have sponsored the production quite extensively.
