As I've said before I'm a big fan of both Jason Statham and his previous 2 action packed Transporter movies. Statham's character "Frank Martin" is a likable one and the fighting sequences are some of the best transferred to film (mostly due to Statham's incredible skill and style). Olivier Megaton directs this time round and although I've not heard of any of the French movies he's made in the past this 3rd edition looks set to follow the thrills and spills of the last two. I can't wait for this film, roll on Dec 5th! (Nov 26th for the US)
Movie synopsis:
Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Ukraine, from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea. Along the way, with the help of Inspector Tarconi, Frank has to contend with the people who strong armed him to take the job, agents sent by Vasilev to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger. Despite Valentina's cynical disposition and his resistance to get involved, Frank and Valentina fall for each other, while escaping from one life-threatening situation after another.
