'Tough British Men' is an Oxymoron!
When
all the fight scenes are as choreographed as
they are in this film, the result is just one
overlong dance routine with props. Nothing
appears natural or spontaneous in this attempted
action film that smacks of pretentiousness. It
is the classic example of a production team
trying to make a cool film rather than a good
film. Throw in some horrific acting and a script
that would insult a pre-teen screenwriter, and
the result is a messy and ridiculously laughable
film that will be forgotten by the time your
first popcorn belch erupts from your nauseated
stomach. This movie will quickly be transported
to the bottom shelf of most video stores.

"The
Transporter" is eye candy. If you want a film
with a marvelous plot or deep insights into the
amoral world of the lead character (sort of a
blue collar Bond), then you've picked the wrong
film. This film presents stylized action without
pretense, and doesn't apologize for it. It's
messy, often silly, but I found myself
constantly enjoying the scenery before my eyes.
Statham pulled off the role nicely, mixing his
action persona with a sort of distant but
attractive character.
