    Storyline

    Edit
    Frank Martin is the best in the business. The ex-Special Forces operative hires himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods--human or otherwise. Very simple, he delivers, no questions asked. Frank has relocated from the French Mediterranean to Miami, Florida, where as a favor to a friend, Frank is driving for the wealthy Billings family. There's very little that can surprise The Transporter, but young Jack Billings has done just that; Frank has unexpectedly bonded with Jack, age 6, who he drives to and from school. But when Jack is kidnapped, Frank must use his battle-tested combat skills to retrieve the boy and thwart the kidnappers' master plan to release a virus that will kill anyone with whom it comes in contact. —Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

    • Trivia
      SERIES TRADEMARK: When discovered at Frank's place, Tarconi uses the same excuse ("I'm the cook") that Lai gave to him in The Transporter (2002).
    • Goofs
      When the gas is ignited from the cylinder in the doctor's office, the cylinder goes shooting down the hall. You can see that the valve is still intact. In reality, the gas escaping from the cylinder through a valve which is at a ninety degree angle to the cylinder such as the one shown, would force the bottle to spin, not to shoot out and fly in a straight line. Additionally, if the pressure of the gas were enough to move the cylinder, it would do so regardless of the gas being lit on fire. The burning, and subsequently expanding, gas would have no effect on the cylinder once it is outside of the valve as the burning gas does not increase the force on the cylinder.
    • Quotes

      Frank Martin: What's the first rule when entering a man's car?

      Jack Billings: [takes his feet off the seat] Respect a man's car, a man respects you.

      Frank Martin: Rule number two?

      Jack Billings: Greet the man. Good afternoon, Frank.

      Frank Martin: Good afternoon, Jack.

      Jack Billings: Can we play the game now?

      Frank Martin: I would think your brain would be too tired after a whole day of school.

      Jack Billings: You're just afraid I'm gonna win.

      Frank Martin: I'm afraid you're gonna be too worn out to do your homework.

      Jack Billings: It's Friday, I don't *have* any homework.

      Frank Martin: In that case: the game.

      Jack Billings: Yes!

      Frank Martin: But first, what's the third rule of the car?

      [Jack buckles his seatbelt]

      Frank Martin: Good.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, the actors names appear to be hanging from the ceiling of the parking garage.
    • Alternate versions
      US version was edited for violence (the scene where Frank fights with an iron bar, digital removal of blood) and sexuality (shots of Kate Nauta's naked butt, digital retouching of shots where you could see her nipples) to secure a more commercial PG-13 rating. This version is ca. 25 seconds shorter.

    Great popcorn flick
    Firstly, this film is never going to win any awards, but who cares when it is this much fun? Jason Statham gives us a likable turn as Frank Martin, and the rest of the cast aren't bad either.

    The plot is complete and utter nonsense but is interesting. The stunts are completely over the top, but great fun to watch and very inventive (watermelon boxing gloves!). The film never takes itself too seriously and remains tongue in cheek the whole way through. Yes, it's all silly implausible nonsense, but remains very entertaining silly nonsense. Worth a watch if you want a mindlessly fun action movie. If you want something more intelligent, you'll have to look elsewhere, but I've seen far stupider films than this.
