Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin (Jason Statham) lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary transporter who moves goods - human or otherwise - from one place to another. No questions asked. Dangerous complications ensue when he is hired to kidnap the feisty daughter of a lethal Chinese crime lord who's smuggling his fellow countrymen into France.

Critics Consensus

The Transporter delivers the action at the expense of coherent storytelling.

Jason Statham uses his smoldering charisma to great effect.

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.

Mainly succeeds in being unintentionally hilarious - which oddly adds entertainment value the creators couldn't have planned for.

... long action scenes that cascade into one another-the style that Hong Kong cinema used to be so good at.

8/10

More than a decade later, no action series has quite managed to capture its blend of silky smooth action thanks to Statham's turn as the debonair hero for the new generation.

Subtle and not subtle but an hour or so well spent at the movies

While some of its side characters doesn't stand out and the storytelling is a bit incohesive, The Transporter is a nicely paced picture that hits hard with its well-executed action and an on point Jason Statham.

The Transporting is engaging but definitely will fall down to the stockpile of Statham action films that you forget. Shu Qi was unbearable and everytime she was on screen I wanted to leave. Overall, it hasn't aged well

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é fraco, só o jason statham ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes.
