She comes out of a bank with two other women, all identically dressed with blond Sia wigs on.

No changing the deal after it’s been agreed on.įrank agrees to transport a woman and two packages. No information about what’s in the packages or why they need a ride. Same commitment to “plausible deniability,” so all clients must play by the rules. Same mad skills as a driver and in MMA-style fights. But neither he nor the storyline are enough to make any of the chases, explosions, or shoot-outs mean enough to hold our attention. Skrein has bright blue eyes, cheekbones to die for, cute crooked teeth, and he looks great in a suit, especially when he is taking on a group of thugs all by himself. This reboot casts newcomer Ed Skrein who is the lower-priced spread to Statham’s artisanal butter. The original had some of the best chase scenes ever filmed and a star-making performance from Jason Statham. The refueled “Transporter” is very low octane.
