Review: The Transporter Refueled

You forgot my fourth rule - I dont transport creepy mannequins. But I make an exception for myself.

For every Taxi, Taken or Lucy, Luc Besson’s production company EuropaCorp is equally guilty of underwhelming fare like Colombiana and Brick Mansions. After seeing the Taken and Taxi franchises run almost to the ground with three films each so far, one might wonder how much gas is left in the tank for the Transporter franchise after three films and a TV series, especially when the original trilogy was no great shakes in the first place, second-tier EuropaCorp fare at best.

That, however, is the saving grace for this reboot, as it doesn’t have too much to live up to. All that fans of the original films expect are cool car chases, cool fight scenes, and some gruff one-liners from the lead character Frank Martin.
