Transporter 3 (2008)
6/10
Gets on the nerves sometimes
8 September 2020
I would have given 5 stars, but out of respect for Mr. Statham I'm giving 6 stars.

The actress has been 'beautified' to such an extent, it looks gaudy. Absolute trashy would be another good description. Men like redheads, but not of this kind please. In fact, her character that has been written is of a very low standard. In the whole movie, her hair is a fiery red, but during the flashback of her abduction, you can clearly see her hair was black. But wait, there's more..

The part where she is teasing and annoying Frank is stupid and sets a bad precedent for future movies. And if you watch the Transporter: Refuelled (2015) you will get to know exactly what I mean.

Frank is breaking his rules left and right, unless previous movies, where things went along with a little more intent. There is a lot of unnecessary dialogue as has been rightly pointed out by others. This movie lacks nuance in essence. For eg. during a fight scene Miss Redhead is watching Frank fight off some buggers, the camera switches to her and her expression is like what you would expect out of a 3rd grade movie. She could just have watched with an intentional look without any expression and people would understand what's going on in the head of the character. But, they cheaped it out big time. I would blame the director for this of course.

The car chase where you have a Mercedes and Frank's Audi on the highway is really bad. The movement's have been sped up and it looks quite amateurish. Unlike the previous movies where they were a lot better. The action sequences were however, not too shabby.

Policeman Mr. Tarconi brings some relief to the script. But he can't investigate a poorly written script now, can he?

Overall: Only the Transporter series/Mr. Statham fans should really watch it. Others can find something better.
