The Transporter Refuelled [DVD] [2017]

Frank is back, blackmailed into assassination of three targets to save his girl friend from murder at the hands of an ex comrade in arms. Full of thrills and some novel eliminations by Our hero. Superb and novel stunts show Jason Stathams flexibility in some tricky situations. (Mainly actioned by himself) Worth repeated views just to keep up with the moves, I look forward to further editions of this franchise ,especially if they explain the back story to Miss Yeohs character.

The first Transporter film probably dropped under some people's radar, but undoubtedly put Jason Statham on enough peoples radar as an action hero. Transporter 2 opened up the playing field with a bigger story, and introduced the much cooler Audi A8 as his mode of transport. Transporter 3 however, seemed to be a mission too far!. The franchise was looking worryingly tired. The car chases and fight scenes were just retreads and even the man in black was looking a bit bored with it all, only going through the motions for his payday. A couple of years ago, a TV series appeared, with Chris Vance taking over at the wheel as a more suave, 007 type transporter. With Statham allegedly asking for £11 million for a return to the film series, me thinks he values himself higher than his last Transporter outing deserves, we are given a new face behind the wheel. Ed Skrein plays a younger version, but no less lethal. He's already proved his credentials, taking on a gang of thugs in an underground car park who seem to think they want his car, before the opening credits have rolled. Frank Martin's latest mission involves Anna, a woman looking for revenge on a human trafficker who victimized her 15 years earlier, involving a bank heist and the kidnap of Frank's father. This is the reboot the franchise needed. Whilst lacking the cockney charm of Statham, Ed Skrein delivers a more cutting edge Transporter, his fight skills sharper than his black suit. Loan Chabanol's Anna is a worthy foil for Frank. Russian rogues, lethal females, slicker fight scenes and cooler car chases make The Transporter Refuelled the film to keep the franchise alive. Hopefully, the series will continue with Skrein in the lead role and we'll see him develop his own take on the character. The best is back in the business.....and he's getting better!

Always liked the transporter series

The Audi S8 is actually in spirit an RS8 but Audi felt that it was inappropriate to use the label on such a large car... Riiiiight. But with 98 Ron fuel it develops 607 horsepower propelling it to 60 MPH in just 3.8 seconds or with an ECU mod 667HP and 3.6 seconds. Yum. To the point, "New Frank" handles the car very well, as one would expect, even as well as "Old Frank". He plays the role very well, but I cannot stop wishing that "Old Frank" would just walk through a door, and say "It's OK I'm back" and climb into his W12 and roar off. That aside this is a great action movie with some good fight sequences and some pretty girls. But again, "Old Frank" would have polished off that room of baddies in about 20 seconds, not three or for minutes like "New Frank" and he would have come out without a mark on him. The movie is great. Buy it!

Lacked the finesse. If James Bond was paid to advertise Audi, this would be it.

Prompt delivery

This is an excellent film - well acted and plenty of action. It is definitely a must have if you have all of the previous Jason Statham Transporter Series. Very pleased with my purchase!

I did not think it could be as good as the previous movies but it is worth watching
