Alien at the Movies

The Transporter Refueled

Frank Martin is back as the Transporter but is he refueled or just a retread? It's a female Three Musketeers & D'Artagnan team who hire Frank (Ed Skrein) for a big heist/revenge scheme. Luc Besson is also back as part of the writing staff so fans can expect thrilling car chase/stunt scenes & close quarters hand-to-hard combat. However, this new Frank lacks the heft & rugged charm of Jason Statham. Maybe that's why the filmmakers created a Frank Sr. (Ray Stevenson) to help carry the load. If you ate easily dazzled by fast cars, pretty girls, and gimmicky action, you'll probably have a good time. Don't get up too quickly or you may miss some final transactions.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "double kidnapping" stars out of 4.
