Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Move over, Vin Diesel, because The Transporter, Hong Kong action veteran Corey Yuen's English-language directorial debut, is revving up to steal your thunder. As the other top-billed action star to emerge in 2002, British hunk Jason Statham--previously seen in Snatch, Ghosts of Mars, and The One--plays a hard-driving courier for well-heeled underworld clients. He follows simple rules: (1) Stick to the deal; (2) Don't ask names; and (3) Don't look in the packages he transports. All's well until he violates rule 3, discovering a Chinese beauty (Qi Shu) in the trunk of his tricked-out BMW, and foiling a deadly plot to smuggle Chinese slaves through the port of Marseilles. The first hour is ass-kickin' fun, and the stuntwork is impressive throughout, even as the plot degenerates into a predictable series of bone-breaking showdowns. Statham boasts an appealing combination of brains and brawn, suggesting the suave versatility of a promising career. Coproduced by action auteur Luc Besson and filmed on dazzling French locations, The Transporter is an action fan's delight. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Movie, Good Bluray Disc
This is a great action flick that has received a pretty good conversion for Bluray. The visuals are solid and the sound upgrade is above average. This is a definite buy if you don't already on it on DVD, and if you are a Statham fan, it's worth upgrading for.
Rating:  - Popcorn and Candy
Look, this isn't high art. It's popcorn and candy at a Saturday afternoon matinee. In other words, it's a ton of fun. Quick, a bit witty, funny and silly. The good guys win and the bad guys lose. What's not to like?
Rating: - THE TRANSPORTER

Rating:  - Should you buy the Blu-ray version... or pass?
(Note: This review is to assist Amazon customers in the choice of purchasing this title for Blu-ray. As Blu-ray owners, we all know not all discs were created equal. I am here to simply point out the differences and/or improvements made between the Blu-ray title and the standard DVD title. No one wants to pay an extra $20 to $45 for just a format.)

Rating:  - Statham makes the movie
The Transporter began a series of over-the-top action movies starring Jason Statham. If you are like me, this has been a positive development. While I feel that Statham is a fine actor who could do more serious work (and did in The Bank Job), he is able to elevate these implausible action movies to a level they may not deserve. The Transporter is a straightforward action movie and features some creative fights.
The Blu-Ray is a mixed bag. The transfer isn't bad and it sounded great ... Read More
