Retirement for Frank Martin (Jason Statham)? Inconceivable for those who saw the driver get the job done in style during the first two 'Transporter' films. And equally inconceivable for the mobsters who intend to get him back in the game whether he wants to or not.
Up against a guy like Jonas Johnson (Robert Knepper), what you want is rarely the issue. And so, with a booby-trapped bracelet round his wrist, Frank Martin finds himself unable to go more than 20 meters from his precious car, or else he'll explode. A good enough reason to head for Odessa to deliver a mystery package, and put up with the presence in his car of a mystery woman: young, carefree Valentina.
"The big step forward in this third installment is the genuine danger that hangs over Frank," says director Olivier Megaton. "For the first time in his career, he faces a fearsome adversary who truly raises the bar. And for the first time, he falls in love, which results in him putting himself in even more danger.
"When he was unattached, Frank was just a cool machine. In love, he's much more vulnerable. He allows himself to express emotion and, above all, he refuses to leave Valentina at the side of the road to save his own skin.
"The stakes are raised, which adds a new dimension to the character, and in this triangular face-off, we are locked into the codes of a great action movie."
Again written by 'Fifth Element' creator Luc Besson and featuring the martial arts choreography of Corey Yuen, the third in the 'Transporter' series continues with the usual combination of high-speed car chases, elaborate stunts and fist fights.
