Genre: Action/Drama/Drame

Annee/Year: 2008

Format: Blu Ray

Tranporter 3. This is the 3rd installment in this newer franchise. Again we see a movie written by french writer/producer Luc Besson with his over the top (more american than americans) style. The direction is from another french colleague of Besson's: Olivier Megaton. The movie idea is the same as the others: make the delivery with an Audi product placement.

The acting from Jason Statham and Natalya Rudakova maintains a minimum of interest in the movie. The over the top action however does not. This movie is very uneven with exciting and entertaining fight scenes and cool car chases but many lengths and periods where the viewer looses interest. This 3rd installment will be the last i hope as the franchise is rapidly loosing steam and this last movie is getting more painfull than fun.

La troisième partie de cette série Transporteur ne fait pas le poids. Statham et Rudakova font une paire intéressante, mais a le 3e devient pénible et ce serait triste de continuer sur cette pente negative.part les excellentes scènes de combat ou de poursuite automobile le film a des longueurs non négligeables. Et l'histoire perd son intérêt pour l'audience. J'espère qu'il n'y aura pas de 4e film à cette série, car les deux premiers étaient pas mal.

Great quotes:

Frank Martin: Let me guess. You're the smart one.
The Giant: No. I am the big one.
...
Inspector Tarconi: It's a good thing that we French have such a highly developed sense of humor.
Frank Martin: With all due respect, the French think that Jerry Lewis is a genius.
Inspector Tarconi: Jerry Lewis is a genius.
Frank Martin: Dean was the genius.
Inspector Tarconi: No. Dean just stood there with a drink and a cigarette.
Frank Martin: My point exactly. Anyone can fall down and get a laugh. But how many people can do it standing still with a drink and a cigarette?
...
Frank Martin: You don't want to do this.
Mighty Joe: I don't think you're in a position to tell me what to do or don't what to do. You have ten seconds to change your mind.
Frank Martin: I'll give you five seconds to remove your hand.
