The most successful part of this “Transporter” reboot, is the contribution by Ray Stevenson. In particular the one at the airport is pretty spectacular. There are also some not bad-looking car chases. Although he’s not as muscled as Statham, Skrein keeps control over every situation and at the same time he appears to have a decent stamina. Skrein also makes use of attributes which are lying around. A quite simple story without much quibbling and with one action scene after the other. “ The transporter refueled” is just what you would expect. Revenge because of the inflicted suffering and the ruined lives of these young ladies. They came up with the brilliant plan to kidnap Frank’s father ( Ray Stevenson) and so put pressure on him so he would help them take revenge. Just like the three ladies of pleasure Anna ( Loan Chabanol), Gina ( Gabriella Wright), Qiao ( Wenxia Yu) and Mary ( Tatiana Pajković). It’s leaded with an iron fist by Karasov ( Radivoje Bukvić), an unscrupulous Russian pimp who at least has more brain cells than the lovely ladies who work for him.
THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED CAST MOVIE
The whole movie centers on a Russian prostitution network around the French Riviera. And when he has to give a reply, he does that in a grumbling and almost incomprehensible way.
Already during the very first scene in the garage, I had a feeling that he’d do just fine. However, I admit that Skrein wasn’t so bad. The person who tries to play the role of Martin again, will have to do his utmost best to equal this (let alone improve it). The controlled fighting style and his dry humor are characteristics he holds a patent on. Because honestly, “ The Transporter” is and will always be Jason Statham.
The only reason I watched this, was to see how Ed Skrein would do as the tough courier. You could call it a typical weekend movie. The story was straightforward and simplistic. The next two films continued on this momentum. Frank’s driving skills were unrivaled and he used this talent for anyone who would pay for it. I can remember the first “ The Transporter” from 2002 as an energetic and fast-paced film with Frank Martin racing through the streets of the French south coast with his car. “You know, in my day, when you wanted to make a cup of coffee you just had to boil the waterĪnd strain the grinds. In the south of France, former special-ops mercenary Frank Martin enters into a game of chess with a femme-fatale and her three sidekicks who are looking for revenge against a sinister Russian kingpin.
