Ever since Jason Statham was picked out of the street by Guy Ritchie to star
in Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels, his stokc has been rising and he's
finally popped the cork with the new action film The Transporter.
The Transporter is about an Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin [Jason Statham] lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods - human or otherwise - from one place to another. No questions asked. Frank's...
He was a totaly badass in War, too. I've been waiting for Statham and Jet Li to really co-star in a movie since The Transporter films (and no, I don't count the crapfest that was The One, either. Too much CGI that made it difficult to really appreciate Corey Yuen's awesome fight choreography). There's probably not another Western actor more qualified for the job than him. Plus, Devon Aoki was in it, too! Hot AND deadly!
