As a soft reboot of the franchise following former star Jason Statham’s decision not to return as Frank Martin, The Transporter Refueled doesn’t really offer much new to audiences expecting a fairly generic action template new lead Ed Skrein is affable yet utterly bland, the action is all rapid edits and musical punctuation instead of actual… you know, action, and the violence is as pulp and over-the-top as ever. After helming one of Paul Walker’s final films, Brick Mansions, and cutting his teeth in Besson’s editing parade – Lockout, Taken 2, the second and third Transporter films – he moves up to the big leagues with this, perhaps Luc Besson’s best known franchise. Blessedly, we’re spared that orgy of ineptitude – although newcomer to the saga, Camille Delamarre, doesn’t fare much better.

My big fear when I heard there was a reboot of the Transporter franchise was that we’d be subjected to yet another exercise in tedium by Luc Besson’s most abominable director-for-hire, Olivier Megaton. Synopsis: 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. Principal Cast : Ed Skrein, Ray Stevenson, Loan Chabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatjana Pajkovic, Wenxia Yu, Radivoje Bukvic, Noemi Lenoir, Samir Guesimi, Anatole Taubman.
