Transporter 3 (2008)

Jason Statham’s third outing as Frank Martin has him driving his cargo in a premise so flimsy the only thing weaker than it is the movie’s love interest. Or maybe the direction. The fight choreography of Corey Yuen and the physical skills of Statham are wasted by director Olivier Megaton who has no idea how to film a fight scene. Statham has charisma galore, but even he has trouble shining in this poorly plotted, sloppily constructed action film. Luc Besson (one of the writers and the creator of the original) needs to rethink this franchise.
