Transporter 3

First movie of 2009, not because it was that bad but it just doesn't excite. And the plot doesn't seems to make sense. It was the on and off action that kept the movie going, with some draggy parts. Jason Statham is like the A-grade in the B-list, can see why his transporter series already at 3rd instalment.

The plot kicked in straight with an audi driving into Paris and started a car chase scene with the Police. Then the next thing it crashed into Frank's house, literally into his house. The driver guy was injured, he found his id, knowing he was the guy who he recommended for a previous job. He got him onto the ambulance but knew too late that the guy got some kind of device on his wrist, which explode when too far away from the car.

Frank also found a girl at the back of the car but soon he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he got the same device on his wrist and the scumbag from "Prison Break" was telling him to do a job.

That was to transport a package to a destination, not known to Frank yet.

Along the way, the girl, Valentina, initially maintain a bo chup attitude towards Frank but after seeing him beat off so many men at the garage, somehow began to like him.

The so called evil plot was to take this Valentina as hostage and force his father to sign some contract with some company. His father was some head of environment agency of Ukraine, something which I can't understand, why don't get him sign immediately ... have to drag ... and transport her here and there.

After Frank shaked off men which Valentina's father send in a quite exciting car chase, he started to know more and scumbag knew he have to get the girl back and kill Frank. He did the first part and thought the did the second. With him and his audi into the river, it seems doom as either he drown or explode to pieces if leave the car too far. Miraclously, he did it, making the audi float above water.

Then the final showdown on the train, literally as his audi landed on it ... then in the train as his audi crashed into it. 6/10
