Making a third installment of any movie franchise is a risky business. Movie producers would normally try to stay away from creating no more than 1 sequel to any movies. The reason being that audiences normally have higher expectations on the a sequel or even a third installment compared to the initial movie. Hence, in order to create the high expectations, movie producers would have to raise their budget. That's the Hollywood style. But then again, The transporter franchise isn't made in Hollywood is it. So this theory doesn't really apply I suppose.Needless to say, Jason Statham still looks fit as always and you can always count on him to whoop some a$$ in any production that he's in. There's a scene where it resembles a more realistic 'Neo vs 1000 Agent Smiths' fighting choreography. Seriously!
This time around though, the Transporter chick, Natalya Rudakova, suffice to say, did not impress me at all. Let's just say Shu Qi, the chick in the first movie, was far better off eventhough she had a weak knowledge in the English language. Sigh, that's what you get by putting a model in the big screen. Hollywood never learns *shakes head*.
Regardless, the movie manages to entertain me as the other 2 did. Great martial arts display, awesome AUDI (the part where he flipped the car on 2 wheels was sick!) and a very acceptable storyline. The transporter always delivers the package as promised, this one is no different. Overall, a decent over the weekend movie.
3/5 stars
