Le Transporteur

October 29th, 2003

Le Transporteur I didn't know anything about this flick until I saw it. Turned out to be worth the time. I was captivated at first, very groovy first half hour but then it faded unfortuantely. I really liked Jason Statham in the lead, inspiring performance, haven't seen anything like it in a while. It also has to be said the stunts were excellent. Quite flawless screenplay [up to a point] by Luc Besson.

The place is Monaco, a retired soldier makes a nice living transporting clandestine stuff for various scum. Precision is his virtue, he goes by a set of rules to ensure everything works out smoothly. Predictably, everything goes wrong once he fails to obey his own rules.

7/10
