Jason Statham as Frank Martin in "Transporter 3".
I'm going all the way back yet again. Now Frank Martin really has another job to do in Transporter 3. This film is directed by Olivier Megaton. This is a third installment in Transporter trilogy and I think this is the weakest in the trilogy. The film begins with a transport ship which travel through a big ocean, then the two workers inside are trying to open the drums in the container. After they opened it, they realize that inside the drums is the toxic waste. The captain of the ships then throw the dead bodies to the sea. Then the film cut to the scene where Frank Martin (Jason Statham) and Tarconi (Francois Berleand) are fishing together. Then the film introduced Minister Leonid Vasilev (Jeroen Krabbe), head of the Environmental Protection Agency. He has a plan to save the environment, but he has been forced to work with Johnson (Robert Knepper). At that night, Frank was alone in his house, then he is knocked out by some one. After that, he wake up in a room. Then Johnson tell him that he would like to hire him to do a job. Frank has forced to take the job but in one condition that he only drive his own car. So, Johnson mention to him that the metal device around his wrist is a bomb, if he's at 75 feets away from the car, the bomb will explode. So, Frank has to transport the package to many other places. In order to survive, he must protect the daugther of Vasilev, Valentina (Natalya Rudakova) who has been kinapped and he has to make sure that he's always stay with the car. But soon, he'll find out that Valentina is the package that he's transporting. This is a disappointing sequel. I can say Yes to the action. There will be a lot of action. But, the filming style (Such as camera view, angle, movement and shot) for this film is very bad and it's not suitable for this movie. It makes the action sequences looks very fake, lacks of energy and not intense enough. When you watch the action sequences, it cannot give you the adrenaline rush. The car chase sequences also feels a bit lame and unecessary. Why it feels lame? It is because I don't like the camera angle while shooting the scene, it really makes the sequences lack of energy and don't have the feeling of need for speed. It feels like you're watching Hong Kong movie style of car chase. The only watchable part is the train action scenes. Besides that, the story is quite good actually, there is a plot twist and it's quite predictable, because of this, it's really makes this film not a bad movie. The acting is normal, Jason reprise his role as Frank Martin and he really knows how to kick their ass. But, he's acting is not as good as "Transporter 2" and lack of energy also. Talking about "Transporter 2", there is a lot of stylish action, the intensity of the action makes the film more eye candy. It makes us think "Is it possible to do it?" That's is why many people like it. Then talk about this one, some action is unique, but still it lacks of energy. And people will say "I'm tired of it". This wil be a short review because I had nothing to say about this movie. I give this film 2 stars is not because the movie is bad, this movie is not a bad movie, it just lack of energy and misuses some of the cinematic techniques to lift up the movie.
