#Jason statham bones break easymovie movie#
It's one of those movies that doesn't throw in realism all of a sudden to make the movie more interesting. What do you expect? The action scenes are performed to flamboyant ans stylized you have to suspend belief. People have unfairly slammed this movie for being unrealistic. A fun action film filled with bone breaking action and wild stunts. Instead of delivering the goods, he breaks his number one rule and peeks inside the package.
One day he takes a gig from a sleazy and shady man named Betancourt (Matt Schulze). His number one rule is to never ask questions.
He asks no questions and needs precise instruction in order to perfectly time his getaways. For his services he'll use his superb driving skills to get his paying customers out of a jam. He's a hired gin who does driving jobs for a hefty fee. The Transporter (2002) was a fun action film that was directed by Jet Li's fight director Corey Yuen and it starred Jason Statham. Like its cool-under-pressure protagonist, the film delivers the goods. `The Transporter' is the cinematic equivalent of junk fast food - not high in nutritional value, but quickly consumed and satisfying when you don't have the time or inclination for something more demanding. Qi Shu is cute and charming as the uninvited and unwelcome `complication' that steps into Frank's smooth-running, well-ordered life. In addition to Statham, who makes for a very `cool' action film hero, Francois Berleand turns in a wonderful performance as a shrewd, wisecracking police inspector who knows that Frank is up to something but who has enough faith in his own instincts to at least give the man the benefit of the doubt. In fact, Morel's camerawork here is some of the best I have seen in a film in a very long time. The movie is well directed, well edited and quite beautifully photographed by cinematographer Pierre Morel, who gives the film's French Riviera setting a bright, sparkling sheen. However, the plot is the least of the matter when it comes to a movie like `The Transporter.' This film is far more concerned with attitude and style than it is with its storyline, which exists merely as a vehicle on which to hang all the explosions, car chases and kickboxing fight scenes that have become the stock-in-trade for modern action pictures. Kwan foil an attempt by her nefarious father to sell a crate load of Chinese immigrants into slavery. Yet, Frank turns out, despite his initial air of callous and self-serving indifference, to be a criminal-type with a heart of gold, and he is soon helping Ms. One day he discovers that the `package' he is to deliver happens to be a human being - a pretty young Chinese girl named Lai Kwan who has been dropped, bound and gagged, into the trunk of the sporty car on which he lavishes most, if not all, of the love and caring he has to offer. That attitude is probably all for the best in this case, since it allows the filmmakers to devise elaborate action and stunt sequences without having to pay the slightest heed to that fantasy killjoy known as `credibility.' Jason Statham literally drips attitude as The Transporter, a stolid, nattily dressed former military man who spends his time delivering packages (no questions asked) all over the French Mediterranean for what turn out to be some pretty shady criminal clients. Of course, it would be foolish not acknowledge how popular James Bond continues to be over 50 years later, it's just that the suave agent's exploits are no longer the only venue to show off international intrigue.`The Transporter' is pretty good for what it is - a sleek, slick, high-octane action thriller that couldn't possibly expect us to believe anything we are seeing on screen and, quite frankly, doesn't care that we don't. However, as Jason Statham astutely pointed out, nowadays we have franchises like Mission Impossible and the Bourne movies, which can just as easily provide audiences the same global scale or elaborate action sequences. The first cinematic 007 adventure was crucial in ushering in the modern action genre, specifically the "secret agent" sub-genre that continue to be popular. No, it definitely was unique among the other movies at the time. When the James Bond movie franchise kicked off in 1962 with Dr. Nowadays you got Jason Bourne, you've got Mission Impossible, you can do your own thing.
You know, back in the day, that was the only type of film in its own sort of way that was doing these international sort of locations with high-end action. I think James Bond now, it's not a standalone. Statham pointed out during an interview with Yahoo that the reason he's not desperate to play James Bond is because that franchise is no longer the only way to feature that kind of excitement or global intrigue on the big screen.
