Ask anyone to name one truly great “threequel” and you could be in for a long wait.
The third in any franchise generally looks tired in comparison, but hand it to Transporter 3 for at least knowing its limitations and playing to its strengths.
Stunning car chases, explosive fight scenes and a deadpanning Jason Statham earned the first two films its cult status, but what do you expect from a director called Olivier Megaton but scraps, explosions and bullets?
Ex-Special Forces mercenary Statham carries on his no-questions-asked delivery service, with an evil mastermind on his tail. Throw in some Russian love and a plot with the finesse of a hippo on ice skates and you’ve got exactly what you expected.
