Transporter 3 Reviews
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011
| Original Score: D | May 6, 2011
Delivers what it promises.
| Original Score: B- | Jun 29, 2010
Though director Olivier Megaton exhibits a good bit of that annoyingly jagged editing that's become all the rage in action films, he has the good sense to never cut away from Statham's pecs.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2009
Incoherent and inconsistent, this is a step back for Statham in his quest to become more than a cult figure.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008
The flashy editing gets on one's wick and no one's going to win an Oscar - but, really, who's complaining? This is straight-up fisticuff fun.
| Original Score: 4/6 | Dec 5, 2008
Transporter 3 is a reassuringly beefy thriller in which Jason Statham has to drive very fast across Eastern Europe with a Ukranian beauty queen on the seat beside him. No one, including Jason, has the slightest clue why. Never mind.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008
Statham is a relatively entertaining action hero - though he is better in the Crank films. The script is by Besson, but the director is Olivier Megaton, whose surname is the most exciting thing about the film.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008
Luc Besson's modestly-budgeted but wildly successful franchise shows signs of broadening to include romance and humour.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008
This action "threequel" is directed by a gentleman named Megaton, so one should not expect subtlety.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008
All zippy choreography and gleaming bodywork (mainly Statham's), producer/writer Luc Besson's cartoonish sequel has a no-brain, 'job done' feel but totally delivers pedal-to-the-metal action.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2008
It's hard not to smile.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 26, 2008
You know a series is in trouble when it begins mocking its own premise. Frank's obsessive rules about who, what and how he transports stuff are ruthlessly violated.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 26, 2008
Somehow Statham comes out of this improbable thriller with his dignity intact. With classic action-hero qualities and dry wit, he seems woefully under-employed as a deliveryman.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 26, 2008
Here's all fans need to know: Yes, Statham strips to the waist multiple times; yes, two dozen hopelessly outnumbered kung fu goons take on our lone hero one by one; and yes, he manages to outpace his Audi by bicycling through a congested sweatshop.

For those who believe that more is better, Transporter 3 is the best of the unapologetically ridiculous series.

The Transporter movies are considered by many to be a guilty pleasure, and maybe I'd feel that way, too, if I ever felt any guilt at the movies.
Full Review | Nov 26, 2008
An action franchise in motion tends to stay in motion, long after logic or box office should bring it to a screeching halt.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 26, 2008
If you're going to a no-frills action film, though, at least you want the action to be entertaining, which is where Transporter 3 falls down.

Transporter 3 is so bad it's good, and it knows it.
| Original Score: C+ | Nov 26, 2008
