Actors: Jason Statham, Tommy Lee
Jones, Jessica Alba, Michelle Yeoh.
Rating: 7 out of 10, In the sequel
Statham is transformed into an international man of mystery globetrotting
around to arrange deaths for the villain holding his girlfriend hostage. He is
in full Transporter mode and his stunts are worth the price of admission.
Jessica Alba plays the love interest with absolutely no chemistry with Staham.
I don’t know how someone as hot as Alba can come across as almost asexual on
the screen. This is Staham back in his action personae which means bring a lot
of body bags as the bad guy had a seemingly endless, target rich stream of
cannon fodder to be mowed down. Tommy Lee Jones was criminally underused. I
liked this for the action, exotic locales, and the occasional Alba bikini shot
but I think it’s safe to say it will be assiduously ignored come Oscar time.
MVP: Statham as the very dangerous
Arthur Bishop
