The Transporter

Better than your average action flick. Jason Statham (you've probably seen him in one of those Guy Ritchie films) is a great choice to play a morally ambiguous "transporter". He'll transport anything, no questions asked, for the right price: as long as you stick to the rules. The problem comes when he breaks his own rule on a run ("Never open the package") and starts to get involved. The plot is irrelelvant -- what makes this movie worth watching the is likability of the character that Statham creates, some sweet driving, and some very creative and entertaining fight scenes. I'm looking forward to "The Transporter 2" -- maybe they'll put him in a better story next time.
